ARCHETYPE

The Steward

Legacy, values and the long now, leadership as care and continuity.

John Roberts fits The Steward archetype, a leader whose defining instinct is to protect the institution he heads. Since 2005 he has managed the Supreme Court with an eye on its legitimacy, often favoring narrow rulings, incremental steps, and cross-ideological coalitions over sweeping outcomes.

“Alternatively, the Government proposes that law enforcement agencies "develop protocols to address" concerns raised by cloud computing. Probably a good idea, but the Founders did not fight a revolution to gain the right to government agency protocols.”
undated

“Five lawyers have closed the debate and enacted their own vision of marriage as a matter of constitutional law... Just who do we think we are?”
undated
