Letter to the editor: Chief Justice John Roberts' legacy
Now that the trial of President Trump is over, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and the rest of us can consider his legacy.
The Constitution provides for a “trial” and “judge ” of the impeachment proceedings. We all know that endemic to the notion of a trial are documents and witnesses. None here. We also know that there are certain inherent powers that a judge, in this case Roberts, has when it comes to conducting a trial. No initiative there.
So, when it comes down to his legacy, Roberts will be relegated by history as nothing more than a game show host.
