John Glover Roberts Jr. (born January 27, 1955) is the 17th and current Chief Justice of the United States. He took his seat on September 29, 2005, having been nominated by President George W. Bush after the death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist. He has been described as having a conservative judicial philosophy in his jurisprudence.
Roberts grew up in northwest Indiana and was educated in a private school. He then attended Harvard College and Harvard Law School, where he was managing editor of the Harvard Law Review.
After being admitted to the bar, he served as a law clerk for Judge Henry Friendly and then Justice Rehnquist before taking a position in the Attorney General's office during the Reagan Administration. He went on to serve the Reagan Administration and the George H. W. Bush administration in the Department of Justice and the Office of the White House Counsel, before spending 14 years in private law practice. During this time, he argued 39 cases before the Supreme Court.[2]
In 2003, he was appointed as a judge of the D.C. Circuit by President George W. Bush, where he was serving when he was nominated to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, initially to succeed retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. When Chief Justice Rehnquist died before Roberts's confirmation hearings began, Bush instead nominated Roberts to fill the Chief Justice position.

May he choke on his cake.
After Trump becomes president, John Roberts should resign so Trump can appoint people to the court who do not sell out the American people.
John Roberts should resign
I tend to agree but he won’t. He is 61 today. I’d say we have 15 more years of Roberts. Too bad nobody listened to me when he was doing confirmation hearings. I knew he was not a conservative at that time and I was CRUCIFIED for even suggesting such and I am NOT exaggerating one bit. I was absolutely called every word in the book and then some. I had so many hateful replies that it was astonishing. However, I ended up being right sadly. I have the same feeling with Cruz.
Maybe Trump can find the hidden vault and return SCOTUS’ and Congress’ missing jewels.
Hope you go when a Conservative is in office.
At this point, if I was a former managing editor of the Harvard Law Review, I would bury that fact deep in my resume.
