SocraticGadfly: John Roberts tells a funny

John Roberts tells a funny

The Chief Justice claims that SCOTUS now having every one of its members previously being a federal appeals judge insulates it from politicization.

Northwestern law prof Lee Epstein agrees that Roberts is blowing smoke. Other legal analysts think more background diversity is better. (The Warren Court, at the time of Brown, had five of its members who did NOT have previous federal judicial experience.)
