He’s still a judge, and this is still a trial. Justice Roberts, for all his faults, was a trial judge before some here were born, and knows how to preside over a trial. But the bottom line is, it’s not up to Lindsey Graham what is and isn’t relevant and admissible. It is up to Judge Roberts, and before making a ruling, he must hear both sides, and right is on Trump’s side.

A trial judge who is blackmailed, is still a compromised trial judge.

The “blackmail” is not in evidence. It’s speculation as to why he ruled as he did. If he was blackmailed, it was by the Obama administration. They are no longer in power. If it could be proven, he should have been impeached. It didn’t happen then. It’s too late to bellyache. He’s the presiding judge.

You could do worse. In Buffalo, there used to be a judge named Judge Harry Forehead. No joke. He was a lush and a horrible jurist. I’ve seen trials where a judge was making nasty gestures while the plaintiff’s attorney spoke, who rushed the attorneys through summation, because he had to fly home to watch a ballgame, and another who gave ridiculous rulings that a 1st year law student would know was wrong, in order to pressure the sides to settle.

Judge Roberts is the hand we’ve been dealt. No option other than to play it well.
