Roberts is a chief justice, and will be talked about for decades, centuries even. He doesn't entirely want to be on the wrong side of history.

The Court’s job is not to try to be on the right side of history. It’s to interpret statutes and the constitution fairly, impartially, and reasonably.
If a policy change is needed, that’s Congress’s job.

Sure. But Roberts is a human being. He has an ego, ambitions, and feelings. So who knows.

Cool story bro, but it has been decades since the court has even pretended to live up to that fairy-tale example we tell little children about it being an impartial body of judges. The court is nine politicians in black robes who are competing to enact their tribes policy objectives while striving to avoid infamy.
