Adopted Children Are Fair Game At The NYT

Drudge is reporting on the New York Times' attempts to get into "sealed" adoption records of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' two children. "TIMES editors were determined to find any possible legal irregularities in the adoptions, insiders claim", and sought lawyers' advice on how to get into the sealed court records.

The National Council For Adoption issued the following statement:

NCFA denounces, in the strongest possible terms, the shocking decision of the New York Times to investigate the adoption records of Justice John Roberts’ two young children. The adoption community is outraged that, for obviously political reasons, the Times has targeted the very private circumstances, motivations, and processes by which the Roberts became parents.

The adoption histories of four- and five-year old children have no bearing whatsoever on the suitability of Justice Roberts to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court – or in any other position, for that matter.

The Old Gray Lady sinks to new sleazy lows of partisan politics.
