The TIMES has investigative reporter Glen Justice hot on the case to investigate the status of adoption records of Judge Roberts’ two young children, Josie age 5 and Jack age 4, a top source reveals.

As Art Linkletter used to say, “Kids say the darndest things.” The NYT wants to know what those Roberts kids will say about the political views of their daddy–Judge Roberts. When daddy told them how they joined the Roberts family did he talk about Roe vs. Wade and that decision’s impact on adoption?

When daddy indicated to them that certain items in the house were “breakables” and shouldn’t be touched, did he indicate a pre-determined course on property rights? Does he see the constitution as a “breakable” or a “play thing”? Does Judge Roberts respect privacy or did he condone the unreasonable and intrusive searches of diapers and pull-ups by Mrs. Roberts during “potty training?”

How about their allowances? Does he show a preference of one over the other indicating that he is an ageist or a heightist?

It is not hard to imagine a New York Times writer saying “those kids are the key to breaking the Judge Roberts story wide open, and I’m going to do it.”

Of course the above questions are, at this stage, a bit of a stretch since the NYT’s is reportedly investigating the adoption records of the two children and not the children themselves. This does not make it any less dispicable and one should not believe that this investigation is “routine” or “background.”

The fact that their kids have even come up during the NYT’s “investigation” shows the level of desperation that the liberal media is feeling with this particular appointment. Independent Sources has an editorial policy against ranting so instead of yelling at the NYT I just want them to take a time out. As we say in Insider’s household, go face the wall until you can be nice.
