Far too few analyses of SCOTUS opinions include an allusion to “The Farmer in the Dell.”
Walter, do you really think Judge Roberts cares about the threats of any politician in general, much less when cases the deciding vote in an opinion? He may have cared too much about things unrelated to his “balls and strikes” commentary but I don’t think he cared less about what any politician had to say.
