John Roberts Quotes
“The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”
“Judges are like umpires. Umpires don't make the rules. They apply them. The role of an umpire and a judge is critical. They make sure everybody plays by the rules. But it is a limited role. Nobody ever went to a ballgame to see the umpire.”
John Roberts Quotes
“Judges have to have the humility to recognize that they operate within a system of precedent, shaped by other judges equally striving to live up to the judicial oath.”

“I will be vigilant to protect the independence and integrity of the Supreme Court, and I will work to ensure that it upholds the rule of law and safeguards those liberties that make this land one of endless possibilities for all Americans.”
John Roberts Quotes

John Roberts Quotes
“People, for reasons of their own, often fail to do things that would be good for them or good for society.”
