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
