There seems to be a great desire here to excuse Robert’s by saying he has been “compromised,” although nobody can ever explain how or by what. Roberts is simply following his ego and he wants to be loved by our leftist masters.
He and Barr are both products of the system, although the system probably wasn’t that bad when they got their start, and they want to stay in with the in-crowd. It’s all ego.
Lots that he’s presumably compromised on. The issue of likely illegal adoptions of his children, his being understood to be a closeted homosexual, his showing up in Malta likely to receive a payoff for an overseas account when he first went unconstitutional with Obamacare, to his reported Knights of Malta sworn fealty to the Queen.
Then of course there is the simple fact of almost everyone in DC being compromised, that he was named by a Deep State Bush, and the unfortunate example of Scalia seared into the minds of all the Justices.
