Jan 2020

has heard and seen plays out when he returns to the Court full time. Before becoming a lawyer, Roberts' studied history and planned to be a college history professor. Unlike Kavanaugh, his entire life has not been focused on getting himself on the Supreme Court.

And, last night, Roberts ruled that all 100 Senators could have access to the testimony of Jennifer Williams that the WH classified in order to hide it. I think if Roberts were asked, as presiding officer, to rule on the relevency of a witness or admissablility of evidence or other issues, he might surprise the doubters.
