Think about the baselines here. Taney inherited a vile political system and dedicated his career to perpetuating it. Roberts inherited a system that, although flawed on any number of dimensions, sought to uphold a modest version of democratic equality. He's dedicated his career to dismantling it.

It's also true even if you *credit* Roberts' own self-conceptualization as an "institutionalist". On that metric -- preserving and maintaining the perception and dignity of the Court as a dispassionate citadel of law -- it is hard to imagine someone who has failed as spectacularly as he has.

That smug dipshit with his Opie-looking “aw shucks” expression plastered on his face: “gee, s’awhy I ruined your democracy.“ Ari Berman spares him no quarter in Give Us the Ballot. I wish nothing but the worst for that cretin, and soon.
