More On John Roberts…

First, the most prominent feature of the data is how little anyone dissents or writes separately in the D.C. Circuit. Of the 191 decisions we reviewed, 97% were decided unanimously. This was so, even though the panels frequently consisted of both conservative and liberal members. Accordingly, one should not read too much into the relatively minor variations in the degree of agreement between Judge Roberts and various other judges on the circuit.

Second, when one examines the very small number of cases in which Judge Roberts disagreed in whole or in part with one of his colleagues, no clear ideological pattern emerges.
