In search of John Roberts

Douglas Newcombe

The John Roberts I remember

It was at La Lumiere that John and I grew from boys to men. I knew him well. You can't get up every morning and brush your teeth next to someone for four years without getting to know him. We were 15-year-old kids in the rigors of an Ivy League education, speaking Latin phrases to each other and reciting 200-year-old poems while putting on coats and ties for class.

It should be noted that there are equally “touching” stories about the Conservative, young Hillary Rodham before the professors at Wellesley College got a hold of her and turned her into the Liberal monster we know today.

Also of interest in Rep. Chris Dodd's odd remark about Roberts and the Fourth Amendment at Confirm Them, Patterico and Michelle Malkin.
