| Notorious Chief Justices |
Shelby Co. v. Holder, rightly, should be considered part of the Citizens United decision. Both have the clear intention of tilting election results in favor of privileged classes. The Citizens United case was insufficient alone in allowing Sheldon Adelson and and his ilk to outright buy the 2012 election. Coupled with large scale disenfranchisement of minorities the two Supreme Court decisions should allow white elites to own government for a couple more generations.
History will certainly link Justice Roberts with Justice Taney. Roberts, like Taney, will be vilified by history as a racial extremist.

The court voting against rights afforded by the constitution because constitutional rights are "entitlements" (which, of course, by definition, it is supposed to be). That is the legacy these people want. Very noble of them.
I hope it doesn't happen. With the health care decision, Chief Justice Roberts proved he doesn't feel compelled to join those extreme cultists masquerading as conservatives on the Court.
It remains to be seen whether he is capable of any independent thought when analyzing the Constitution.
I hope so. Four Scalias on the Court is a scary proposition.
