This was pure blackmail. Rush Limbaugh alluded to Roberts being under some type of unusual pressure before the vote, and clammed up on details.
If you read the article, Roberts was under unusual pressure from the other judges who wanted to throw the whole thing out. Kennedy kept trying to change Roberts' mind until the very end. That's likely what Rush was referring to.
What I find so odd is how this type of information is rarely seen/heard from the court. They usually keep their mouths shut. I bet Roberts was counting on that. Ooooops.

Rush didnt say that. I believe the pressure he was referring to was whatever caused Roberts to go traitor, not efforts to retain him. But Rush aint talking.

If true than when he sees the cat is out of the bag he is going to be doing some serious dodging from the glare of the truth
Wonder if this news has reached him yet
