Wow fastball from Warren right at the Chief
Warren's lucky that's not Alito in the chair except Alito's been at war with Democrats since Obama threw that SOTU fastball
Schiff does Matrix-style redirect of the ricocheting fastball right back at the Senators in front of him while mopping up the Chief's bloody nose
Warren's Question, as read by CJ Roberts: "At a time when large majorities of Americans have lost faith in government, does the fact that the Chief Justice is presiding over an impeachment trial in which Republican senators have thus far refused to allow witnesses or evidence...
Warren's Question, as read by CJ Roberts, continued:
"...contribute to the loss of legitimacy of the chief justice, the supreme court, and the constitution?"
"...contribute to the loss of legitimacy of the chief justice, the supreme court, and the constitution?"
If you want Warren’s question, as read by the Chief Justice, all in one tweet:

K: We wish.

(Do I actually think that question will affect his votes on the court? No. That’s not his style. Do I think it was a good question? Politically for progressives? Yes. For others? Shrug. Insofar as I’m very much in favor of demystifying the institution and its high priests? Yes.)
