Roberts joins Supreme Court’s liberal wing in striking down Louisiana abortion law
Chief Justice John Roberts joined the Supreme Court’s liberal wing on Thursday in temporarily blocking a Louisiana law that would have placed restrictions on abortion clinics, in the high court’s first major ruling on abortion since the confirmation of Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The justices decided in a 5-4 vote that they will not allow the state to put into effect a law that requires abortion providers to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. The Supreme Court is set to issue a final ruling on the merits of the case later.
The court’s four more conservative justices, including Neil Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, would have allowed the law to take effect. Kavanaugh wrote a dissent explaining his vote, saying the court’s action was premature because the state had made clear it would allow abortion providers an additional 45 days to obtain admitting privileges before it started enforcing the law.
If the doctors succeed, they can continue performing abortions, but if they fail, they could return to court, Kavanaugh wrote.
The law was set to take effect Monday, but last Friday, Justice Samuel Alito temporarily halted its implementation so that the justices could review arguments.

That should be verified, and once verified the vote should be redone. No one has the authority to vote for anyone else in our Republic. If RBG is unable to vote, by showing up, her vote should not be counted.

A Senator can’t dial in his or her vote, nor can a House Member.
If there wer rules for the replacement of a SCOTUS judge and their incapicitation, who would enforce them? You can’t give it to the executive as they would have a conflict of interest. I guess the only remedy is to impeach the judge and that’s not going to happen.
