Supreme Court Nominee's French Fry Stand Clear

WASHINGTON -- People are still guessing where Judge John Roberts stands when it comes to abortion, but there's no question about his views on eating french fries at a subway station.

As an appellate judge for the District of Columbia, Roberts wrote a decision last year upholding the arrest of a 12-year-old girl who was caught munching fries at a Washington Metro station.

While he supported the arrest, he also chided the transit police for their handling of the case.

Roberts suggested they overreacted by taking the girl into custody, removing her shoelaces, transporting the child in a police vehicle and taking her fingerprints -- "all for eating a single french fry."

Roberts and his wife have two young children.

Thanks again, G.W.
