Kantor

Cellist Kina Kantor, an ensemble member who shadows the action, provides musical accompaniment that lends the human comedy an indisputable gravity.

This echoes precisely the blockbuster New York Times reporting from last month from Jodi Kantor and Adam Liptak, who also pointed out that Roberts had convinced himself last term that he would be able to razzle-dazzle the nation with soaring constitutional rhetoric in his immunity opinion, in ways that would lower the temperature in the public fury at the high court post-Dobbs: “In his writings on the immunity case,” write Kantor and Liptak,

But Roberts has either developed a tin ear when it comes to public opinion, or—more worrying still—he has not just “frozen out” the liberal justices, as Kantor and Liptak put it last month, but has actually frozen out any feedback or media sources that might have warned him that the public mood was not going to be welcoming of near-blanket immunity from a coup-fomenting president, even if that decision came trussed up in magisterial language about the separation of powers and the safeguarding of the “unitary executive.”

Earlier this year, another Herrling co-conspirator, James Kantor, agreed to plead guilty tied to the scheme.

Kantor also admitted to creating a fraudulent petition to speed the transfer of the Wilding property into the fraudulent trust controlled by Herrling.
