Who does Bloomberg think he is?

Who does Bloomberg think he is? Or better yet why does Reuters think the rest of us should care?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Friday opposed John Roberts' nomination to be U.S. Supreme Court chief justice, making him the first noted Republican to break with the Bush administration over who should lead America's top court.

So Reuters considers Bloomberg a Republican? He is a lifelong Democrat who ran for mayor of New York as a Republican since he couldn't win the Democrat primary. Is Reuters going to ask the mayor of every city their opinion on John Roberts fitness to serve on the Supreme Court?

And just for the record why is Bloomberg against Roberts? Apparently, Roberts hasn't satisfied Bloomberg desire that all justices must be in favor of infanticide.

Bloomberg said Roberts had failed to show a commitment to upholding the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision establishing a right to abortion. "I am unconvinced that Judge Roberts accepts the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling as settled law," Bloomberg said.

According to dopes like Bloomberg the Supreme Court's only purpose is to rule on Roe v. Wade.
