The Chief Justice at His Best

Peter Bergen: This was the chief justice at his best. He's almost, if you read the dissent, the tone of it is, he's exasperated. It's really an extraordinary exchange in 50 years of Supreme Court opinions. But what Roberts's main achievement is to say, let me show you how the Constitution is colorblind. And now we're just returning to that single, easy-to-understand principle. We have a colorblind Constitution. I don't think Roberts will ever do better than this moment.
