Chief Justice Captain Obvious

























Credit where it's due


Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said there was little question that Mr. Rahimi, who has been accused of a string of shootings, posed a threat to public safety.

“You don’t have any doubt that your client is a dangerous person, do you?” the chief justice asked Mr. Rahimi’s lawyer, J. Matthew Wright.

Mr. Wright said he would “want to know what ‘dangerous person’ means.”Chief Justice Roberts supplied a definition. “It means someone who is shooting at people,” he said. “That’s a good start.”

Mr. Wright retreated. “That’s fair,” he said.
