"Taken together, Roberts’s actions seem to be contributing to a kind of buyer’s remorse that could result in even more pressure for ideologically pure nominees.
During his confirmation hearings, Roberts presented himself a strict interpreter of the Constitution and compared a judge’s role to that of an umpire calling balls and strikes. President George W. Bush was so confident in Roberts’s conservative bona fides that he appointed him directly to the post of chief justice.
“I think there are a lot of conservatives who feel like, instead of calling the balls and strikes, he’s kind of ducking when possible,” said Carrie Severino of the conservative Judicial Crisis Network. “There certainly seems like a more consistent pattern on the part of Scalia, Thomas and Alito of being really conservative to the core.”
