Roberts is a conservative who cares about the integrity of the court.


And weirdly enough, what he did in the ObamaCare case WAS conservative. He (not the usual suspects) was the one who deferred to the legislature and the broad authorities they have instead of going down the unprecedented route of declaring the law unconstitutional.

Not to speak ill of the dead so soon but a fact's a fact...and Scalia was a right wing hack, not a judicial conservative.

Nothing remotely conservative or "originalist" about Heller, Bush v Gore, or Citizens. Nor in his dissent in the ObamaCare case. The fact that the guy despised RvW for religious reasons and talked a good game didn't make him a conservative.
