but the degree of actual control Roberts has - has been pretty self evident for some time - and declined further with the appointment of Coney Barrett. In agreement that the court (the full nine) is 'getting the message.' Whether anybody is going to be 'reined in' by sober reflection (as opposed to Roberts) - remains to be seen. (and we might not have the answer to that for years)
