Late yesterday afternoon, Sen. Elizabeth "She Persisted" Warren sent a question to Chief Justice John Roberts to be read aloud, and it was priceless:
“At a time when large majorities of Americans have lost faith in government, does the fact that the chief justice is presiding over an impeachment trial in which Republican senators have thus far refused to allow witnesses or evidence contribute to the loss of legitimacy of the chief justice, the Supreme Court and the Constitution?”"Yes," Roberts didn't reply. Treasonous Trump toadie Sen. Moscow Mitch McConnell must have filled his Depends on hearing that question.
Whether it jogs Roberts' sense of legacy / honor is not likely, but the fact that he and Rethuglican Senators were confronted with the question publicly was a special moment.
