More papers have been released from Supreme Court nominee John Roberts days working in the Reagan White House. The Wall Street Journal reports the papers depict him as a “forceful conservative.” In one paper, Roberts wrote that a controversial memorial service for aborted fetuses was “an entirely appropriate means of calling attention to the abortion tragedy.” He also approved a telegram written by President Reagan that compared Roe vs. Wade to the Dred Scott decision of 1857, which upheld slavery. In another paper, Roberts defended prayer in public schools.
