Roberts jokes about trip to 'impregnable fortress'

FARMINGTON, Pa. – U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is joking that he'll be spending some time in "an impregnable fortress" now that the Supreme Court has ended a session that featured him casting the decisive vote upholding President Barack Obama's health care law.

Responding to a question about his summer plans, Roberts quipped that he thought his planned trip to Malta to teach a class was a "good idea."

He delivered the joke Friday at a federal court conference at a posh Pennsylvania resort.
