Was this question asked of Roberts? If not, it should have been:

"In your understanding of American jurisprudence, can a Supreme Court majority legitimately declare that one of its rulings applies only to the present case?"

1. Another question for Roberts: Orphangate

Mr Roberts, we understand you and your wife adopted
two young children from Ireland.
According to the State Department

PLEASE NOTE: Each year only a few Irish children are placed for adoption. Foreign adoptions are exceptionally rare, since adoptive parents must be resident in Ireland for at least one year.

What were the dates of the year when you and your wife were resident in Ireland?
Please release a copy of your adoption papers.

You didn't lie on your adoption application, did you?

It's Orphangate!!!

2. Answer: "Well, I cannot comment on anything

that could come before the court, other people have strong opinions on this, I am going to have to apply the Ginsberg rule and draw the line here."

"But, Ginsberg commented on 30 specific cases."

"She may have but she was commenting about what she had written on in the past."

"So you cant answer anything because you haven't answered anything?"

"Exactly"

There, I just summed up the entire hearing.
