John Roberts warns not take democracy for granted.
https://www.vox.com/2020/1/3/21046493/chief-justice-roberts-annual-report-democracyHow John Roberts thinks about democracy
A statement from the Chief Justice of the United States about not taking democracy for granted would normally seem like an anodyne exhortation. But coming from the author of Shelby County v. Holder (2013), the Court’s 5-4 decision striking down much of the Voting Rights Act, it might raise an eyebrow.

When I read that I immediately thought of Rachel Maddow's saying, "Don't watch what they say, watch what they do."
