The White House is delaying the release of some 50,000 documents related to Supreme Court nominee John Roberts. This according to a report in the Washington Post. Most of the papers deal with legal work done by Roberts for the Reagan administration in the 1980s. The White House has sent a team of lawyers to the Reagan library to review all unreleased documents. Questions about Roberts have intensified after other documents revealed that Roberts consistently took a very conservative view of the law while he worked for the Reagan and Bush administrations in 1980s. He argued against affirmative-action quotas and other civil rights remedies and he expressed deep skepticism about what he called the “so-called right to privacy” that underpins the constitutional right to abortion.
