I wouldn't imagine him jumping in to cut off Justice (Ruth Bader) Ginsburg or Justice Scalia if they are talking too long.Richard Garnett
It's been awhile since the Supreme Court had any new members, ... And one thing we've seen is that when the Court gets a new member, no matter what that member's views are, it sometimes tends to change the dynamics. When Justice Thomas came on the Court, Justice Souter started voting differently.
Richard Garnett
He loves the court, ... So he must have felt, 'If I can stay on the job with a reasonable expectation I can maintain my health, then why not.'
Richard Garnett
I don't think he was consciously trying to help the White House by announcing something now, but it does make things easier for the president. It simplifies things because he doesn't feel like he has to make both conservatives and moderates happy with two picks. The one vacancy will allow him to focus on the right person he sees for the job.
Richard Garnett
I think he's happy now just getting his work done, and the work of the other justices done. He takes that leadership role seriously.
Richard Garnett
Even if the president wasn't up to it in alligators and his approval rating was 90 percent, John Roberts simply is the best guy for the chief justice's job. I think the thought of having John Roberts join him on the court kept the chief going despite his cancer. I think he's probably smiling about it now.
