I like this "neuroscience" approach, but I think you are being too kind.
Yes, people often unknowingly decide things for selfish reasons, and then invent a story of fairness to explain it to themselves later. But I think that is more a democrat thing, to be frank.
The GOP is rife with strategists who calculate the best move while at the same time calculating the best story to tell - all very knowingly.
I think a guy like Roberts might be more in the "unknowing" camp, but I think the more recent GOP additions to the court have a long, well-thought-out agenda - and then lie about it.
