What part of the article suggests that Roberts is an obstacle to reform? The article only states that in its current formulation, FISC does not have a lot of accountability because the judges are all chosen by Roberts with no input from any other part of government.

The only branch of government that doesn't have influence over FISC is the executive, which runs NSA.
