Not a defense of Roberts, but it was the AP who ran to Roberts for a quote, and this was his response to a question
But he made a purely political comment, masked as a judicial one
no comment would have been the correct reply imo

Thanks for bringing that up. I wonder why the fake news didn’t make that clear?
The AP was out to get ammo against Trump, now it’s backfiring on them.
It was inappropriate for Roberts to respond as he did.
He is an intelligent man and knew exactly what he was doing.
He SHOULD have responded that it was inappropriate for him to respond on the subject as he might be involved in reviewing this case.
He KNEW very well what he was doing, and what he was doing was to set the grounds for a recused on his part, assuring a 4 -4 decision which would let the 9th circuit decision stand.
