Roberts says he would recommend video acting to any celebrity, as long as they understand it's not really acting at all: "The only similarity is they both have storyboards and they're both on film," Roberts observed.

 Revealing Roberts By Eric Umansky
Wade at his 2003 confirmation hearings, Roberts described it as the "settled law of the land." Of course, even that doesn't mean much; it could have just been a savvy statement of the obvious: As an appeals court judge he was bound by the Supreme Court's precedent.
As the WSJ puts it, Roberts' short time on the bench gives the White House a "strategic advantage." Democrats can be suspicious of Roberts, but he doesn't have a track record on which they can nail him.
Roberts' decisions on the bench, says the Washington Post, have been marked by "dispassionate reasoning rather than inflammatory language." But as the New York Times emphasizes, Roberts—a card-carrying member of the Federalist Society—has evinced skepticism about the extent of the feds' regulatory powers.
