Morning news

Just a quick note before work. I just read a LA Times article that says Roberts (SCOTUS nominee) did pro bono (free) work for a gay rights group and helped them overturn a discriminatory Colorado state law (that law "would have allowed employers and landlords to exclude gays from jobs and housing" and it was approved by the voters of Colorado-- real nice).
"Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. worked behind the scenes for gay rights activists, and his legal expertise helped them persuade the Supreme Court to issue a landmark 1996 ruling protecting people from discrimination because of their sexual orientation."
So, I don't know... maybe he's not so bad? I guess we keep watching and see what else comes up.
