Chief Justice Roberts Misled Senator Wyden

This was Roberts back in August 2005.
Roberts told Wyden that he would look closely at the legislative history of federal laws and would be careful not to strip states of powers they traditionally have held -- such as regulating the practice of medicine, Wyden said.

"You don't get the impression from how he answered that he'd let somebody stretch a sweeping statute like the Controlled Substances Act," Wyden said. ...
People pay attention! Roberts floated into the Supreme Court. Now we know how much smoke he was blowing back then. Is there any reason to think Alito is less of a shill than Roberts? I predict that with an imperial presidency and a complicit Congress and Supreme Court, civil liberties in this country are headed for some dark years.
