"Set beside some of his predecessors, Mr Roberts may seem inexperienced. William Rehnquist had been a Supreme Court judge for 14 years before he was elevated to the top job. Earl Warren had been governor of California. William Howard Taft had been president of the United States. Mr Roberts has been an appeals-court judge for only two years."
