Roberts At Least Is Sure About One Thing God Didn't Do

Yesterday, some 38,546 additional pages of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' papers were released by the National Archives. They include a wide range of letters and memos issued under Roberts' name between 1982 and 1986 while Roberts served as Associate Counsel to the President in the Reagan White House. CBN reports that in one memo Roberts advised Reagan to change the language in a speech he was about to give. He urged the President not to call America "the greatest nation God ever created". Roberts wrote, "According to Genesis, God creates things like heavens and the earth and the birds and the fishes, but not nations."
