I don't believe that Roberts is going to be returning to the bench in October. I predict some kind of health issue or family issue will cause him to resign before the next term.
At least that's what my mind saw at first glance...
Roberts has replaced Obozo as the most disliked/hated DC bozo. He has fallen into a zone/bottomless pit of no recovery.

El Dictator Obozo to John the traitor, "Hey Justice John, Nancy is really great in bed isn't she, and her pictures of you in bed with her are ready to go on You Tube if you don't vote for us!"
A question for all of us: "When and how did Pelosi know that her side would win?"
I think that is hopeful thinking, but I sure hope you’re right.
