john roberts as justice

in addition to looking like a zombie, something i suppose he can't help, john roberts seems like mostly bad news to me. randy barnett is not reassuring, either, although not completely dismissive:

In his distinguished career, he has somehow managed not to give a speech or write an article that reveals the core of his judicial philosophy. As a result, we simply have no idea what to expect from him other than "well-crafted" opinions, and are unlikely to find out.

i have little legal expertise, but am skeptical, especially after readings his take on a few positions (anti-choice, pro-state sponsored prayer, pro-unjustified police searches). for what it's worth, i have little confidence in this president to pick otherwise.
