Justice John Roberts cast the deciding vote against President Donald Trump's attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, but only after changing his position behind the scenes, sources familiar with the private Supreme Court deliberations tell CNN.

I would rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than go for a ride in a car with Ted Kennedy.

The prickture in the article of Roberts reminds me of the often posted smug prickture of Strzok under questioning by Congressional staff.
Yes I coined a word. I think it covers photographs of them well.
Trump should publicly ask him to resign, then keep asking.
[He has been compromised.]
RINO.
Excellent! Including the nice touch with the starting point... Was that the “t=36” ?
Are there statutes of limitations on the adoption? Either way, the kids are now adults so, other than 3 days of scandalous headlines, he’s off scot free.
You're living in the wrong country if you dream about that. Head to the east...
