In reply to the discussion: Supreme Court Springs A Leak; Leaks To Conservative Pundits May Have Started More Than A Month Ago [View all]McCamy Taylor
(19,240 posts)Pac---less then 24 hours after the Citizens United decision) so I'll bet that Scalia told Rove, and Karl decided to send His Personal Pundits after Roberts---and the failure of this effort was the real reason for Rove's public temper tantrum last week.
From this, I assume that Justice Roberts is so clean he squeaks, because if Rove had any blackmail info on him (say, from the Bush era warrantless wiretaps), he would have used it to force him into line.
I am going to do a little tea leaf reading now and predict that Roberts has had it up to here with the kind of thug tactics that Rove and his right wing hench-buddies use, and that future attempts to bully him will rebound on the ones doing the bullying.
Remember, Roberts can not get any higher in this lifetime professionally than he is now. From here on out it is all about polishing up his own legacy.
