Justice Roberts

Michael Barone wrote to Powerline about John Roberts and had this observation:

I recall reading that in his first years at the Supreme Court Souter delegated the selection of his clerks to Professor Laurence Tribe of Harvard Law School. With predictable results: liberal clerks, liberal opinions.

And this conclusion:

This is not a guy who is going to come out the way I would like in every case. But it does seem to be a guy who will come out the way he would like in every case -- and is not going to be buffaloed by Professor Tribe's hand-picked law clerks any more than he is buffaloed by Professor Tribe.

Barone has a great proposal.
