John Roberts: Umpire or Ultimate Decider?

Talking Feds

About this episode

Chief Justice John Roberts famously told the country that, if confirmed to the Supreme Court, he would act like an umpire—just there to call balls and strikes. To help answer the question of how Umpire Roberts Court has fared, Harry spoke with Lisa Graves about her new book, Without Precedent: How Chief Justice Roberts and His Accomplices Rewrote the Constitution and Dismantled Our Rights, in which Graves makes the case that Roberts has acted less as an umpire than a political loyalist. Mentioned in this episode: Lisa's book. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
