Voted for rehearing in a case about whether a developer had to take down a fence so that the arroyo toad could move freely through its habitat. Roberts argued that the panel was wrong to rule against the developer because the regulations on behalf of the toad, promulgated under the Endangered Species Act, overstepped the federal government's power to regulate interstate commerce.

Although he was appointed in 2003, what the bio fails to note is that he was nominated in 2001. His nomination was in limbo for 2 years by the obstructionist Democrats.
