Roberts--and Alito--simply lied. Balls & strikes. Right. They are politicians in robes-nothing more.

1. I'm shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

Lied to by Roberts? Really? Anyone that didn't know exactly what that guy was all about from the beginning was either stupid or delusional or both. If I'm choosing a jury and there is a guy on the panel who happens to be the brother of the chief of police and the alleged victim's best friend am I going to choose him for my jury just because he says "but I will be fair" during jury selection? Well gee whiz, everything about who Roberts is and what he's done says he's an authoritarian tool, but he seems so nice! And when we asked him he told us to forget all that and trust him cause he's going to be super fair and reasonable at all times. Good enough for me! I'm sure it will all work out.
