With the earlier disparagement about short answers, I am once again reminded of the words of Mark Twain:
Quote:
A young man charged with recruiting speakers for a local event caught Mark Twain in a hotel lobby. The young man enthusiastically asked him to speak to the local group that evening for “just five minutes."
Mark Twain replied with regret that it would not be possible, because he would need at least two hours to prepare a five minute speech, and he didn’t have the time.
“Wow!” The young man exclaimed. “How long would you need to prepare if I asked you to speak for two hours?” “Well,” Mark Twain replied, “If you asked me to speak for two hours, I’m ready right now.”

In keeping with the above sentiment, I have condensed the above articles somewhat, to wit:
Quote:
He said Roberts probably broke the law but that it wasn't enough to disqualify him from the high court.
all three judges reached the same bottom line in the case.
We do not cite these events to raise questions about Roberts' fitness for the Supreme Court.

To sum it up, everyone involved (except for Host) does not consider this episode to be grounds to remove Roberts from consideration.
