Reject was a poor choice of words; you're right.

"He actually talks to these jerks as if they deserve a serious answer. (I can do that with people who are genuinely not bright, though I couldn't keep it up all day. And I don't even try if they're evil too!)"

You sum it up beautifully. How in the world does he keep treating these people as though they are his intellectual and moral equals? I guess a few are, Sessions for one.

Roberts looks so calm and pleasant, as if none of this is even testing his abilities.

Now Lindsay Graham is up again. I like him a lot more since yesterday.

His restraint is MOST admirable. He's much the better man, in every sense of the word BETTER. I am going to make certain I miss Schumer today. :)

He's only suffering these fools gladly so that he can get on SCOTUS. It has to give him a headache just to try to think down to Biden's level.

I was thinking the same thing. He also said something about settled expectations. Like you said, states are continuously passing new abortion laws that get shot down. Do you think Judge Roberts is leaving himself open to revisiting Roe vs. Wade?

Tonk, thanks for keeping the important information out there, and making it easier for everyone to join in supporting the troops.

Howlin, get out of the way.

Considering the facial expressions of Mrs. Roberts I am guessing that she goes off as soon as they get in the car, he after all gets to talk all day, she has to sit there and listen to these jerks try to rip her husband. Plus she is also a lawyer.
