The Hidden Hard Liner

Yikes. This article - about how hard-line conservative Chief Justice Roberts is - is not all that surprising, even though this is the absolute opposite of how he sold himself in his hearings. The supreme court nomination process has become so much theatre that I think most intelligent people assume that the candidates are lying through their teeth - telling congress what they want to hear to get nominated - knowing that once they're nominated, that sweet, sweet lifetime tenure is worth it all. (Another reason to change lifetime tenure to a single 10 or 15-year term, methinks.)
Highlight:

In every major case since he became the nation’s seventeenth Chief Justice, Roberts has sided with the prosecution over the defendant, the state over the condemned, the executive branch over the legislative, and the corporate defendant over the individual plaintiff.
