This is a super interesting article but I have always been of the mind that Roberts' primary concern is depoliticizing the court as much as possible, and granting deference to the other branches. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/is-chief-justice-roberts-a-secret-liberal/ …
anyway in practice this means Roberts' decisions will look more liberal when there is a lot of liberal legislation/practices being challenged, and more conservative when the reverse is true.

the x-factor here is trump, who does not seem content to color within the lines of his constitutionally-granted powers. Whether Roberts will fall on his apolitical non-intervention stance vs protecting Constitutional roles will determine a lot in 2019-2022, I think.
