I think he is an institutionalist who goes out of his way to avoid being seen as an activist. He sees his role as safeguarding the institutional integrity of SCOTUS above all. That means not blithely overturning precedent, crafting the narrowest possible outcomes, ruling only on technical matters at issue instead of on merits, deferring to Congress, etc.
