A very well thought out article on the mind of Roberts. But I believe the out come has been pre-ordained. Even Souter knows that it's 5-4 in a wash.

I Think Obama has come alone at a unique time in our nation's history. I believe he'll be able to appoint two Justices, if age and life expectancy matter, who could completely change the fabic of this nation. Getting the economy back in shape, getting completely out of Iraq, and whatever the hell he can do in Afghanistan is the most important thing on his plate as of now. But if he can manage to change the shape of the Supreme Court, from the very people who stole the election for Bush, and turn this Country back into a nation the U.S. and the rest of the world can again look up too, he will have done an amazing thing.
