John Yoo, a former Bush administration lawyer, suggested in Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal that there had been a catastrophic vetting failure in 2005 when the administration was considering Chief Justice Roberts’s nomination.
“If a Republican is elected president,” said Professor Yoo, who teaches law at the University of California, Berkeley, “he will have to be more careful than the last. Chief Justice Roberts has not just made a mistake of constitutional interpretation, but of political leadership”.
The dissatisfaction of conservatives grew as they studied the decision and found clues that the chief justice might initially have been in the majority to strike down the law, only to switch sides.
The possibility that conservatives had victory within reach only to lose it seemed to infuriate some of them.
