In a February 1982 memorandum, Judge Roberts urged Mr. Smith to refuse to join a sex-discrimination suit alleging that the Kentucky state prison system offered more vocational-training opportunities to male prisoners than to female prisoners. Although Assistant Attorney General William Bradford Reynolds -- a staunch conservative known for opposition to affirmative action -- had advised joining the case, Judge Roberts wrote that doing so would be "inconsistent" with the administration's "judicial restraint effort" that discouraged courts from "interference with state prison programs."

Moreover, Judge Roberts wrote that "many reasonable justifications" could be found for treating men and women differently and, in any event, pressing the suit could lead the state to achieve equality by abolishing all programs for all prisoners

In his years of service as a political appointee in the administrations of Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush, Judge Roberts also helped craft legal policies that sought to weaken school desegregation efforts, the reproductive rights of women, environmental protections, church-state separation and the voting rights of African Americans
