NYT Pokes Around Judge Roberts' Adoption of His Two Children: Abuse of Power

The New York Times began making it's own headlines as it sent out reporters to investigate Supreme Court nominee Judge John Roberts' adoption of his two children.

There are privacy laws in place to protect the privacy of the families who adopt children for a reason. His adopting of two children has absolutely no bearing on how suited he is for the position on the Court.

The newspaper has said that it stopped after making initial inquiries about the adoption process itself and whether Judge Roberts followed the rules. The probe detected no problems.

Hopefully the Times has gone no further on this particular issue. There are far more important matters for them to look into that have a direct bearing on the nomination.
