Mr. Justice Roberts

Some of you might have discerned that my brother, Jim, is the cartoonist featured liberally on this site. Like any "A-list" editorial cartoonist, he has a rapier wit, exercised more circumspectly some times than others.

Here is a typical demonstration of the perfection of his craft -- one of the many profiles he does on a regular basis of important people in the news.

On the other hand, sometimes Jim's cynicism gets the better of him, as in this cartoon, which is curiously susceptible to the ridiculous notion that Judge Roberts is an "empty suit." I'm sure that Jim only intended to suggest that "we don't know enough about" Judge Roberts and need to look into him closely. The left will be inclined to say many inaccurate things about Judge Roberts, deliberately. But I don't believe being an empty suit will be among them.
