...roberts donned his black robe. "Are you ready to take the oath?" Roberts asked.

What is this?

Does Roberts' authority only flow when he wears his robe?

Was there something symbolic that Obama did before reciting the oath (besides playing "At Last" in the background)?

Can Roberts be official without wearing the robes (yes, of course, but why make him wear the robes)?

I guess that was Roberts' punishment -- being made to wear the robes when re-administering the oath.

WH photog took a picture for history/files. Also, it would be his “uniform.”

Did you see any coverage of the inaugural balls last night? BHO and Michelle attended 10 balls, and "danced" 10 times to that same song, over and over again. It was weird.

Is that typical? Doesn't the couple dance to any song at each ball, or does it have to be one specific song?

At least Roberts has not awarded himself four gold bands like Rehnquist.
