And Roberts knew he was lying his ass off about money in politics being free speech, when the point was the donations would come from anonymous sources, impossible to tell who is speaking, they're just too bashful to admit they're the "speakers".
He knew the majority on the court were lying that the Voting Rights Act wasn't needed anymore.
Roberts lied in his confirmation hearings about being in the Federalist Society, White House flack Dana Perino said he "had no memory" of being in it:
"Chief Justice of the United States John G. Roberts was reported to have been a member of the Society, but Roberts's membership status was never definitively established. Deputy White House press secretary Dana Perino said Roberts "has no recollection of ever being a member."[35] The Washington Post later located the Federalist Society Lawyers' Division Leadership Directory, 1997–1998, which listed Roberts as a member of the Washington chapter steering committee.[36] Membership in the Society is not a necessary condition for being listed in the leadership directory.[36]"

You can tell you're off to a bad start as Supreme Court Chief Justice when you perjure yourself in Senate confirmation hearings.
I think Alito lied about Federalist Society membership in his confirmation hearings, too. But I can't remember where I read that.
Bircher Kochs and their repug buddies funded the Federalist Society.
"...
The growing clout of the Society has been aided by millions of dollars from the likes of the John M. Olin, Lynde and Harry Bradley, Sarah Scaife, and Charles G. Koch foundations -- some of the largest funders of right-wing groups in the country. In 1998, all four of these foundations contributed at least $100,000 to the Federalist Society, gifts that placed them in an elite group of eight top Society contributors. [28]

The Koch Foundation is one of three family foundations established by Charles G. Koch, the heir to Koch Industries, an oil refining and petrochemical company based in Wichita, Kansas. Koch Industries began as Rock Island Oil and Refining, built a generation ago by Fred Koch, who was also one of the founders of the John Birch Society. [35] In addition to serving as chief executive officer of the company, Charles Koch is a co-founder of the Cato Institute, [36] a libertarian Washington, D.C.-based think-tank whose publications have downplayed the dangers of lead-based paint and asbestos, and proposed allowing states to choose "whether to accept any increase" in the minimum wage. [37]
The Koch Foundation supports right-wing causes at every level -- from academic research and the recruitment of young scholars to think tanks and "implementation" groups that attempt to turn these ideas into political realities. Among the other right-wing groups supported by the Koch Foundation are Citizens for a Sound Economy, the Institute for Justice, the American Legislative Exchange Council, the Reason Foundation, the Heritage Foundation, the Landmark Legal Foundation and the Young America's Foundation.
