The Three Branches of Government
A little humor about Roberts. In his swearing-in ceremony, Roberts remarked:
The process we have just completed epitomizes the separation of powers that is enshrined in our Constitution. My nomination was announced some 10 weeks ago here in the White House, the home of the executive branch. This morning, further up Pennsylvania Avenue, it was approved in the Capitol, the home of the executive [sic] branch. And tomorrow, I will go into the Supreme Court building to join my colleagues, the home of the judicial branch, to undertake my duties.
Apparently Roberts thinks the President runs the Senate (and probably the house too). A little Freudian slip that exposes his support of increased executive power.
