'Roberts appears to be more comfortable just saying, 'OK, whatever, I'm willing to go there.' One interpretation of what is happening is, 'If I want to write the big opinion, I'm going to have to go where the votes are.' This reflects a pragmatic shift in Roberts’ approach, indicating a possible compromise in consensus-building due to the current dynamics of the court.'
Professor Carolyn Shapiro emphasizes that Chief Justice John Roberts may no longer be focused primarily on building consensus. The phrase 'I'm willing to go there' implies a readiness to adapt his strategy to align with the majority, potentially sacrificing his role as a consensus builder.
