According to this blogger (see below) Scalia called Roberts "far and away the best Supreme Court litigator in the country" - and said that opinion was widely shared among justices!!! That suggests a quality of intellect that will be very influential on the court for years to come:
"For what it's worth: A few years ago, Justice Scalia said to a friend of mine that he and other Justices thought of John Roberts as far and away the best Supreme Court litigator in the country."
