Chief Justices playing the long game..........

What do John Marshall and John Roberts have in common?   Besides that...... youth and the prospect for a long-term Chief Justicehood may have caused them to focus on the really big picture rather than just the case at hand.  Interesting essay here.  Excerpt here:

"But Roberts is only a few years further into his chief justice-ship than Marshall was at the time of the Marbury decision. His tenure is likely to be equally as lengthy, if not more so. I think the forest for him is quite a bit different than the trees that people are focusing on."
