The Case of John Roberts's Missing Papers

[Bruden]

The country has John G. Roberts Jr. as its newest chief justice. What it doesn't have is an answer to the mystery of the missing file of his work papers on affirmative action.

The file, compiled during Roberts's tenure as an associate counsel in the Reagan White House, vanished in July when lawyers from the Bush administration were reviewing the materials at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., as part of a vetting process before Roberts's formal nomination to the Supreme Court.

A newly released report from the National Archives inspector general's office shows that federal investigators failed in their first attempt to nail down what happened to the file, which became a flashpoint in Roberts's otherwise smooth confirmation process.

"This investigation is unresolved and the file is still missing," says the 64-page IG report, released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from a Washington area researcher and posted Tuesday on the Web site Memory Hole. ". . . The OIG was unable to determine whether the missing file was taken intentionally, unintentionally, or lost."

2. Great post! Recommended. I have the solutoin...

First, this investiation must take place.

Second, regadless of how it comes out, ALL federal judicial appointments by * since 2000 must be
negatived, declared null and void. The guy stole 2000 and he certainly stole 2000. Lets investigate
that too. When we get the ansewr we all know and have now, the nullificaiton is quitelogical.
Former federal judge Abner Mikva made this point after 2000 and it still stands.

Adios Alito and Roberts.
