When Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts worked for Ronald Reagan's Administration, one of the issues on which he advised the Reaganites was affirmative action.
So you might be asking yourself, well how does our nation's Chief Justice feel about affirmative action?
Don't look for an answer any time soon.
John Robert's papers on affirmative action mysteriously disappeared last July, when, surprise, lawyers for the Bush Administration were reviewing them at the Ronald Reagan library in California (before Bush officially nominated Roberts to the Supreme Court).
And, the papers are still missing.
Federal investigators have not been successful in tracking the missing John Roberts affirmative action file.
They have concluded, however, that proper procedures were not followed by Archives staff when BushCo. lawyers were reviewing the file. For example, the two lawyers who were reviewing the file, were allowed to do so in a private office, as opposed to a public reading room under the supervision of Archives staff.
What's more, in what appears to be a departure from normal policy, they were allowed to bring their personal belongs with them into the room that they used to review the file.
Anyone else find it curious that out of all the papers Roberts accumalated during his Reagan years, it's his work on affirmative action that's seemed to have disappeared into thin air?
Is there a reason why the Bushies didn't want us to know Roberts' views on affirmative action, when they nominated him?
