Throughout the trial, Defendant Starr's counsel has argued to the court that the barrel of the rifle was threaded when it sold to Defendant Starr.

 BeldarBlog: John Roberts as counselor
That is because Roberts has spent most of his career as a star — by all accounts, a superstar — in the most rarified constellation of the legal galaxy, the exclusive club of Supreme Court appellate specialists.
John Roberts may not have ever tried a first-chair jury case, nor even been among counsel of record in any kind of case that's gone through to a trial court decision on the merits.
And indeed, I strongly suspect that the biggest single difference between John Roberts' private practice as an appellate advocate and his time in the SG's office was that the counselor role was far more important while he was at the Solicitor General's office, as compared to his private appellate advocacy practice.

Additionally, Starr and Olson are activists in the Federalist Society, an organization of "conservative" lawyers and businessmen which especially targets law students for recruitment; Starr's and Olson's law firms are significant financial supporters of the society, along with the John M.

 Poplicks.com: SUPREME COURT JUSTICE JOHN G. ROBERTS?
Judge Roberts is a strict constructionist, evidenced by his membership in the Federalist Society, which includes such petrifying people like Justice Scalia, Justice Thomas, Ann Coulter, Ken Starr, Robert Bork, Linda Chavez, Orrin Hatch, and John Ashcroft.
A practicing Catholic, Roberts also has taken super-anti-choice positions in two Supreme Court cases, one that severely restricted the ability of poor women to gain information about abortion services, and another that took away a key means for women to access clinics and combat anti-abortion nutbags.
As I surf between the evening news shows, the pundits keep emphasizing that Roberts' professional positions as an advocate may not reflect his personal views, but all signs suggest that Roberts is a flaming good ol' boy reactionary.

In 1971, I wrote something about John and Yoko that they liked a lot, and to show their appreciation they invited me and my girlfriend Dominique to John's 31st birthday party--in Syracuse, where a Yoko Ono retrospective had been mounted.
Among those present was Ringo Starr, grumpy because he'd called room service an hour before and there was still no food.
