13. We'll take any sign of hope we can get

I think they'll eventually screw the environment, but Roberts, pro-business though he is, never struck me as someone who had his head in the sand. He understands judicial legitimacy, he has stated he does not want the judicial branch politicized. There have been some surprise rulings on both sides this spring. It's almost as if Roberts has instructed his colleagues that they must carefully consider the legal arguments from both sides. Or maybe RBG has gotten in everyone's space!
