Roberts is nothing but a right wing hack. He personally went out and found a case to tear apart campaign finance laws, he is no friend of transparency or justice - again - he is NOTHING but a rw hack who sometimes pretends for a few min. (until it really counts) that he's a patroit. He has never failed to support the right wing in any case I've ever heard of. Even when he makes sensible decisions, he usually pairs them with crazy ones - as he did with the ACA. He will permit any shenanigan they want to do that hurts Democrats unless it's just completely in your face and outrageous and even then I wouldn't trust him one iota.
