They have something on him, probably more than one thing.
If he had any balls if he doesnt want to come out about it, he should step down.
But ofmcourse he’s like most people who get a lot of power, they pretty much will die before giving it up.
He doesn’t want his court to have a reputation of being politically bias to one side or the other. He’s obsessed with that thinking. That’s why he found some lame argument to keep Obamacare. He didn’t want his court to kill it. When Kennedy retired, everyone knew Roberts would slide to the center to try to maintain the balance. He wants it to be a split court.
If RBG dies and Trump puts on another conservative, Roberts will likely move to the left for good in order to try and keep the balance.
