Just curious, why wouldn’t the VP be brought in to break a tie?

Because the Constitution says that the VP shall be the president of the Senate, except in cases of impeachment.

“I saw that and was pleasantly surprised. Roberts said it very firmly.”

Ditto. I actually applauded when he said that, which woke up the dog.

Roberts cannot afford another stain on his record...he told President Trump SCOTUS is a non-partisan entity and this would have belied that - he was relieved when the motion did not come to a tie.
