Thanks for being on subject. Can you cite me an instance of a lwayer using "we" when he did not hold a position?
Not off the top of my head; I don't have a pile of legal briefs sitting here, especially ones where I can prove an attorney was advocating a position in court that he doesn't believe. But usage of "we" in the courtroom is commonplace in describing the "official" views of one side. "We believe...", "we hold...", etc. A lawyer's job is to advance his client's opinions to the best of his ability. His own opinions are immaterial.
As a consummate professional, I think Roberts would agree with that, and has specifically said to not read that as his personal opinion.
I'd go further and say that Roberts' lack of a provable position on Roe v. Wade is a big part of why he was chosen. The president thinks he's anti-Roe, but the Dems don't have the ammunition to prove it. Makes confirmation a lot easier.
What do traitors, rapists, child-molesters, and any other reprehensible-type people have in common?
All of their lawyers say "we" in the course of their zealous representation.
Well, except maybe the traitor's lawyer. He may be too busy with movie deals and fitness-video copyright actions.
