pandagon_net has been all over the John Roberts Supreme Court appointment. Apparently, he has expressed the (way too common) "strict constructionist" view that there is nothing in the Constitution about a right to privacy, so therefore no such right exists. Amanda posted a good article last night about what's wrong with that view.
On the other hand, apparently Roberts has done pro-bono work representing gay-rights activists, resulting in a landmark Supreme Court decision prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. But he seems to want to hide it.
