J.P.,
As you note, Fund stands by his reporting.... so, the key thing is,
McCain told York today that he did not "ever" draw any distinction
between Alito and Roberts ("No, no, of course not.") That is a
categorical denial. As I trust Fund's reporting entirely, what this
means is that even if McCain said "might," that does not come close
to squaring with his categorical denial today of having ever said
such a thing.... which means that what McCain said today to York
was another lie. Straight talk, my rear end.
