(73,333 posts)"great unknows" is -- exactly as you have noted several times recently -- what role Chief Justice Roberts opts to play. This could be crucial. I don't think the lone recent example of Rehnquist during the Clinton trial is necessarily going to follow, Rehnquist knew, as did everyone in the Senate, that they were not going to convict Clinton. Now, that may hold true here, but for very different reasons. While Roberts isn't my cup of tea, I do think he is a serious man when it comes to understanding threats to the Constitution and nation. Time will tell.
I had a great conversation with my cousin last night. I really wish you could have participated! We were discussing all the things good and bad, great and terrible, that our generation has gone through. Never anticipated this shit.
