Most curious that you would cite Sotomayor & Roberts as paragons of constitutional rectitude.

Actually I cited them as prime examples of what Taney was. Someone who acted in a way that they thought the Constitution required, but whose interpretation of the Constitution was somewhat puzzling at best. Witness Taney's interpretation that blacks were not and could never be citizens. Where is that a whole lot different than Robert's ruling that Obamacare was a tax and therefore Constitutional? Both men invented meanings out of thin air to suit their personal prejudices or agendas.

Judicial activism as opposed to impartial umpires.
