John Roberts Rumor Started To Prove Point Proves Point

This is pretty great: Above the Law pegs yesterday’s “John Roberts is Retiring” rumor to a Georgetown Law class about… rumors and trusted sources. Unfortunately, most of the professor’s students were too busy sexting about the news to reflect upon the actual topic of the lecture: “on the credibility and reliability of informants,” and when the professor, Peter Tague, revealed he was just teaching them a lesson, they had to re-sext all their friends that, no, John Roberts was not indeed going to retire yesterday. Love it.
