37. Apparently this letter had no effect on Chief Justice Roberts whatsoever

Sat May 14, 2022, 03:24 PM

May 2022

He would have received this letter from Judge Dannenberg over 2 years ago. Did he even read it?

How can Roberts reconcile these comments with the way Amy Coney Barrett got "rushed" onto the court in record time after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg? (Ginsberg was barely in the ground before the hearings commenced for Barrett.) So much has happened since March of 2020 and it leads us to wonder, how far right is the Roberts court trying to go?
