Privacy Views: Roberts Argued Hard for Others - New York Times

Privacy Views: Roberts Argued Hard for Others - New York Times: "'Robert Bork was blocked in large part because he said in his writings that there was no constitutional right to privacy,' said Erwin Chemerinsky, a law professor at Duke.
Judge Roberts could face serious trouble, liberal and conservative law professors agreed, if he were to embrace similar views at his confirmation hearings in the Senate next month."

"We continue to believe that Roe was wrongly decided and should be overruled," the brief said. "The court's conclusions in Roe that there is a fundamental right to an abortion and that government has no compelling interest in protecting prenatal human life throughout pregnancy find no support in the text, structure or history of the Constitution."
