What Did A Young John Roberts Contribute To Chief Justice Rehnquist's Opinion In Dames & Moore v. Regan?

Way back in 2014, I wrote about a very special clerk tree. A young John Roberts clerked for Chief Justice Rehnquist in 1981 when Dames & Moore v. Regan was decided. And a young William Rehnquist clerked for Justice Jackson in 1952 when Youngstown was decided. The linkage of those Justices, and cases, seemed profound. In Bank Markazi, Chief Justice Roberts corrected Justice Ginsburg's account of Dames & Moore.

(Roberts's co-clerks were Dean C. Colson and Robert B. Knauss.)
