Not that I expected much, but I am pleasantly surprised. We will lose some big one's, but it seems he is acutely aware of his place in history, and has some moral conscience and boundaries, apparently, and that's a good thing considering any Trump case; I'm having more confidence in Roberts with regard to rulings on Trump.
