Exactly Bob it may well have already happened.
I think Roberts leads the pack whether hes head justice or not and he’s owned by the cabal no question. If he doesn’t want to hear the case you know Trump has the goods and all the info he needs.
I told my son when Prez Trump nominated Kavanaugh to the court that he was making a mistake not to name him Chief Justice. {As far as I know, while an appointment to SCOTUS is for a lifetime, the Chief Justice appointment can be rescinded.}
