This story (and others which also report this and expand upon it) could very well be bogus...however...it does seem very consistent with the bizarre rationale of Roberts’ opinion, and the fact that the dissent does not appear to acknowledge his opinion.
If it is true that Roberts bowed to media and political pressure, he should resign. That undermines to entire point of what a judge is supposed to be and he is not fit to serve in the judiciary.
I agree with you the story seems consistent with what we DO know.
The writer tries to dent the story by saying it’s suspect because the two sources for it aren’t named.
Is the writer kidding us?
Of course the sources aren’t named. None of this is ever supposed to be talked about regarding behind-the-scenes goings on at the SCOTUS.
That is a silly argument.
