“I spent time with Roberts, and came away convinced that he is qualified in every way,” Barack said to us. “He’s obviously bright. He knows his stuff. But I also have this nagging feeling, based on his opinions, that anytime there’s a contest between the powerful and the powerless, he’ll find a way to make sure the powerful win. That’s how he’ll interpret the law. And that’s not my vision of how the courts should work, and particularly not the Supreme Court.”
