Holy shit even Roberts joined in. This is the first bit of evidence I've seen that he actually cares about SCOTUS's institutional integrity as opposed to using it as an excuse to cuck out to the left. Remember he opposed overturning Roe in the leaked opinion. He must have finally realized that there's no appeasing these animals. The leak backfired on its architect big time. This is a great day. I don't care much about the abortion issue itself but I'm thrilled to see an ideology as evil and hateful as feminism take such a huge loss.
Yes and no. He's still playing Mr. Senator - 6-3 on immediate merits, 5-4 on the Roe reversal itself. He had to be a snake and do a stand alone concurrence to say 'well, you see, it's complicated..'
It's still a massive step in the right direction but it gives lower courts a bit of extra wiggle room to chew on to find exceptions and carve out arguments for the eventual re-litigation on another theory down the road. Things will be messier, but Roberts gets to preen his feathers and say that he was the Principled Statesman tempering the court from being too bold.
Really wish we can eventually impeach him so he can go run for Senate to pursue his true passions. He has no business running SCOTUS.
He has no business actually being a senator either, but better he try and fail in that arena then what he's doing now

Enlightened Centrism is the absolute worst ideology of all. Even the Bible condemned it 2000 years ago.
I bet Roberts drinks room temperature coffee
he wants to be on the winning side. He was never going to be in a 5-4 minority.
