oped: Hopefully Roberts will make his decision on the rule of law not because he has a Lesbian family member..!
The lesbian cousin of Supreme Court Chief
Justice John Roberts will attend Tuesday’s oral arguments examining
California’s Proposition 8 ballot initiative, which bans gay marriage in
the state.
Jean Podrasky, a San Francisco woman who
says she hopes to marry her partner, told the Los Angeles Times that she
plans to be at the court for the arguments. She told the paper the
chief justice knows that she is gay, and that she attended his
confirmation hearing along with other family members.
Podrasky also said she hopes to introduce Roberts to Grace Fasano, her partner of four years, during the trip to Washington, and is optimistic about how her relative will rule.

“He is a smart man,” she said. “He is a
good man. I believe he sees where the tide is going. I do trust him. I
absolutely trust that he will go in a good direction.”
But Podrasky also said she didn’t know
whether her presence, or having a family member who was openly gay,
would sway her cousin.
