罗伯茨的原话："I am not talking about subordinating strongly held views to achieve an artificial consensus. But I am talking about deciding cases on narrow grounds, when that allows broader agreement，”参见Bill Barnhart，ROBERTS STRIVES FOR CONSENSUS ON COURT。
罗伯茨的原话：“that more of the differences of opinion among the justices should be expressed only in secret, in the court''s conferences, and not published as separate”，参见Bill Barnhart，ROBERTS STRIVES FOR CONSENSUS ON COURT。
参见Sunstein，The Minimalist。
罗伯茨的原话："He quite consciously adopted practices to ensure that the justices would work collaboratively and that the court as much as possible would speak with a unified voice."参见Bill Barnhart，ROBERTS STRIVES FOR CONSENSUS ON COURT。
罗伯茨的原话，如：“housing the justices in the same Washington rooming house, without their families, while they reviewed cases”；"Following the arguments, they would go back to the boarding house and conduct their conference over dinner”；"Marshall was an engaging man who could mix serious legal discussion with a pleasant meal"；"Marshall used the common quarters of the boarding house to instill in his colleagues the need to work collectively and function as a court"；"Under Marshall, the court''s judgment was announced in a single opinion, wherever possible expressing the views of the whole court."参见Bill Barnhart，ROBERTS STRIVES FOR CONSENSUS ON COURT。
尽管罗伯茨可能是调和人际冲突的一个高手。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的政治学教授查理斯·富兰克林说：“罗伯茨将成为最高法院中的一个强势人物。但他似乎总能和人相处融洽，尽量避免派系情绪或是尖锐的人际冲突。”
罗伯茨的原话：“For them, Marshall set the court on an invalid and dangerous path when he established the power of the court to overrule laws passed by Congress.”参见Bill Barnhart，ROBERTS STRIVES FOR CONSENSUS ON COURT。
