‘Revisiting John Roberts’s Path to Confirmation’

That’s the title of my new Confirmation Tales post.

As John Roberts approaches the end of his 20th term as chief justice, I look back on the battle over his Supreme Court nomination—or, rather, nominations in the plural—in 2005. And going even further back, I recount how my interviews for a line position in the Office of the Solicitor General in the fall of 1990 set me on the career path that led years later to my extensive writing on Roberts and other Supreme Court nominees.
