you feel about the chance that chief justice roberts has done leading the court since way back in 2005? >> i think he's acting like a little bit like hughes from the 1930s, trying his best to keep the extremes between the left and right from coming to a head and making so clear that the court has a legitimacy problem, that he's been able to salvage the appearance of legitimacy. but i think ultimately, from decisions that he has joined in, in shelby county, in heller, whether it's on gun rights or voting rights, he is more of an extremist than his appearances would let on. he's not as bad as some of the others. he tries his best to join a liberal majority on occasion when he sees the possibility that he might agree with it. but in general, we have a court that is filled with people who got there because of questionable parts of our past history, those presidents put them into office, and they otherwise would not have been there. >> james is next, from auburn, washington, he says the court is about right in his mind. why, james? >> caller: yes, i say it's about right because the simple fact is, the supreme court, nothing is right and nothin
