        John Roberts has a lot to answer for: gutting VRA, Citizens United, Hobby Lobby to name but three of his disasters. Now this.

        good letter except for the incorrect date (2017, not 2018).

        Glad they responded, but don't get your hopes up. John Roberts will go down as one of America's greatest all-time villains.

        Such ignorance from an office that should reflect the highest intellectual integrity. Roberts' Supreme Court is a shameful usurpation

        Roberts also said that segregation in America was 'de facto' rather than 'de jure' and ruled on affirmative action based on that fallacy.

        Pretty good letter. That was an unusually silly thing for Roberts to say, & atypically rude.

        Part of a wider anti-sociological narrative on the right, including attacks from the alt-right and 'evolutionary psychology'.
