"The kind of humility that Roberts favors reflects a view that the Court should almost always defer to the existing power relationships in society."

"At this low moment in the historical reputation of George W. Bush, his nominee for Chief Justice stands in signal contrast to what appears today to be a failed and fading tenure as President. Roberts’s service on the Court, which is, of course, likely to continue for decades, offers an enduring and faithful reflection of the Bush Presidency."

Well said, Toobin
