4. Though a solid loyal Catholic, Roberts had a key phrase in the Dreamers ruling

I don't have it in front of me, but it was in the vein of the Court having to decide on the basis of Constitutional law, and no other considerations. The Republican-dominated Supreme Court has certainly strayed from THAT often enough in the last 20 years, but if the extremist Republicans keep pounding Roberts personally every time he votes like he remembered what his job is, he just might decide to keep voting that way. He'll probably never be a Hugo Black or even a David Souter, but if he gets shit on often enough by his own former backers, he might just choose to clean himself up every now and again. If given a chance to vote down the key portions of the Voting Rights Act like he did, I wonder if, at this point, he would vote the same way? Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but Opus Dei can't control his thoughts 24/7.
