If transformed into the law of the land, Judge Roberts' legal views could produce a government with less power to protect ordinary people and give ordinary people less power to protect themselves from abuse by government and other powerful interests.
It reveals that he has pursued a very consistent agenda that favors government intrusion into our personal lives and sides with powerful interests over ordinary Americans.
His views are very much out of sync with civil rights, women's rights, privacy. Certainly reviewing so many of those memos and briefs and papers he authored makes one wonder whether he understands how the law affects ordinary people.
The existing record suggests that Judge Roberts lacks sufficient appreciation for how the law affects ordinary people.
