Chief Justice Roberts jokes about trip to 'impregnable' fortress

I'm starting to like this guy

FARMINGTON, Pa. — Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts joked that he'll spend some time on an "impregnable island fortress" now that the court has ended a session that featured him casting the decisive vote to uphold President Obama's health-care law.

Responding to a question about his summer break, Roberts said Friday that he planned to teach a class for two weeks in Malta, the Mediterranean island nation.

"Malta, as you know, is an impregnable island fortress. It seemed like a good idea," Roberts said, drawing laughter from about 300 judges, attorneys and others attending a four-day conference, which started Thursday at the posh Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Farmington, about 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

Roberts was alluding to escaping criticism from conservatives upset that he sanctioned a law they abhor.
