Sounding more like Judge Rehnquist than Judge Scalia, Chief Justice nominee John Roberts said yesterday that Congress has the authority to pass laws barring discrimination based on race, gender and disability.
Defending his record on minority issues, he also stated that he has argued cases in favor of affirmative action. "Yes, I was in an administration that was opposed to quotas," Roberts said. "Opposition to quotas is not the same thing as opposition to affirmative action." And distancing himself from arguments he made during his time with the Reagan administration, Roberts said, "I would, of course, confront that issue as a judge and not as a staff attorney for an administration with a position."
