I will be open to the considered views of my colleagues on the bench, and I will decide every case based on the record, according to the rule of law, without fear or favor, to the best of my ability, and I will remember that it's my job to call balls and strikes, and not to pitch or bat.

"Chief" "Justice" John Roberts

Roberts and the Roberts Court should be reminded of this daily. Especially after these proposed reforms which were made necessary by the actions of the Roberts Court.

"to the best of my ability" is a very favorable loophole in that oath.
