I think the take on Roberts lying with his "Oh, shucks, y'all, all I want to do is uphold the Constitution" nonsense is 100% accurate.

This was DELIBERATE. None of it happened by accident.

I think what Trump is becoming is what Roberts envisioned, and I will guarantee that it sends a tingle up the legs of Thomas and Alito, at minimum.

I don't think Gorsuch gives a damn about the blowback.

If Kavanaugh does, he'll just cry some more and remind us that he likes beer.

And Barrett may throw back some snark in her own defense, but if she was smart enough to get the gig, she's smart enough to know what she's now a part of.
