Fair game?
The New York Times has a fairly petulant defense of it's "initial inquiries about the adoptions," of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' children, which they did "with
great care, understanding the sensitivity of the issue." Furthermore, they "have not pursued the issue after the initial inquiries, which detected nothing irregular about the adoptions." As a member of an adoptive family myself, let me just ask...
The hell?
What could you potentially have learned that would help answer the question of what kind of Justice Roberts would make? Was the guy making calls about that also they guy that could have been investigating, say Roberts' previous work on cases heard by the Supreme Court? Cause you know, that stuff is kind of important. The other thing? Not so much, unless you're a shameless bunch of hacks on a dirt hunt.
