[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bottom line is, did Gorsuch mask up after Roberts asked him to?  If the answer is anything other than "yes" then Gorsuch is a d!ck.[/quote]

The bottom line is ..... did this story even happen?
The answer is no, it didn't.  As evidenced by the statements of 3 of the Justices.

And, an even broader question..... according to Totenberg's piece, there is dysfunction on SCOTUS.  Given that her account of this part of her story has been debunked, can we believe the rest of the story? 
I think not.  I am betting things go much more smoothly with SCOTUS than Totenberg would like people to believe.

If you read this and look at the decisions (up until July, 2021), seems they agree more than they disagree.

The court’s decisions are not the full record of its functioning. There are thousands of cases they don’t take, bad appeals decisions they let stand because they know they can’t touch them with a 10-foot pole. And again, when you know your credibility as an institution is nearly shot and your credibility is all you have, you might be inclined to take a public face that is a complete charade and fraud.

Or, there may be a "journalist" or two with an agenda who finds a kindred soul to tell her what she wants to hear so she can draft a story to fit a narrative. 
Interesting that a story like this appears when the left has been discussing making revisions to SCOTUS - including stacking the court.  
I am highly skeptical - in fact - I seriously doubt that Totenberg's story is based on truth.  She and NPR can "stand by the story" as much as they want, but many of us simply don't believe it and will be highly skeptical of future pieces she writes.  She has lost any credibility she had.
