Don't believe anything I say
Washington Monthly, April, 2006 by Charles Peters
> The qualms about Chief Justice Roberts's endorsement of the lawyer's role as hired gun expressed in this column recently are shared by our alumnus Michael Kinsley. Pointing out in a column last month that Roberts told the Senate judiciary committee that "the position a lawyer presents on behalf of a client should not be ascribed to that lawyer," Kinsley observes: "If the average potential juror knew that lawyers actually take pride in not believing what they say, it could wreck the whole [legal] system."
