Chief Justice John Roberts is known best for building a consensus, and writing opinions to maximize support by fellow Justices. While other Justices often cite their own prior opinions, Chief Justice Roberts is a master at citing the decisions of fellow Justices to win their support for his opinion. But by emphasizing consensus rather than clarity and force of an opinion, Roberts can issue a weak 6-3 or 9-0 opinion rather than a stronger 5-4 version. [1]

“ If you watched the confirmation hearings for his nomination to be chief justice of the Supreme Court, you know why the Left hates him. Without notes, Roberts, a constructionist, schooled every single one of the Judiciary Committee’s far-Left senators on constitutional jurisprudence. Having someone of his intellect, worldview and legal understanding as chief justice does wonders to protect the Constitution from those who would amend it by judicial fiat. --- Town Hall Magazine [2] ”
However, Justice Roberts showed he lacked firm convictions as far as being a constructionist by cowardly abdicating his responsibility as a Supreme Court judge in his unconstitutional upholding of ObamaCare. [3] [4] Others have referred to this decision as being the result of a lack of judgment and clear thinking as a result of the side effects of an epilepsy medication, which immediately calls into question whether he is mentally suitable to continue serving on the bench.
