Chief Justice Roberts is Still Very Conservative

Josh Gerstein rounds up angry conservative reactions to the Obamacare ruling. And of course they are angry.

But let’s put this into context: on racial issues, on campaign finance, on states’ rights, abortion, Roberts is still very, very conservative.

He is more conservative than Justice Kennedy on many of these issues.

That he is not as conservative as Scalia, Thomas or Alito does not mean he’s a liberal. It’s all relative.
