Is Roberts Nomination a Florida Election Theft Payoff

Story here:

Why is John Roberts being nominated by George Bush to the U.S. Supreme Court? Could it possibly have anything to do with the fact that this Republican lawyer was tapped to advise Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on how to steal the 2004 presidential election for his grateful brother?

The Miami Herald reported on July 21st that: "U.S. Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts provided legal advice to Gov. Jeb Bush in the weeks following the November 2000 election as part of the effort to make sure the governor's brother won the disputed presidential vote. Roberts, at the time a private attorney in Washington, D.C., came to Tallahassee to advise the state's Republican administration as it was trying to prevent a Democratic end-run that the GOP feared might give the election to Al Gore."

And if that isn't clear enough for you, consider the words of U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-FL.: "Judge Roberts worked to ensure that George Bush would become president -- regardless of what the courts might decide. And now he is being rewarded for that partisan service by being appointed to the nation's highest court."

So much for President Bush tapping the best man (or woman) for the job!
