Judge Roberts concluded that the D.C. law was constitutional because, although perhaps unwise, it was “rationally related to the legitimate goal of promoting parental awareness and involvement with children who commit delinquent acts.”
My problem is:
1) Where in the constitution does it state that the government should promote "parental awareness"?
2) How can a law be "perhaps unwise" while at the same time being rational?
3) Eating a french fry on the metro is hardly an example of hard core juvenile delinquency that must be brought under control.
Roberts was merely affirming the right of the government to use gestapo tactics against a 12 year old little girl. I have a MAJOR problem with this.

So, maybe we should nominate Robin Williams to the Supreme Court?
