Having said that, if this was true, it would have came from more conventional sources. There are WAY TOO many real reporters on the SCOTUS beat for them to get scooped by a gossip rag. I put the odds at 1 in 10K that this is true.
It may turn out to be untrue, but too many rumors have truth behind them somewhere. I don’t like the sound of this, regardless of any reason why Roberts would consider it.
