[Political Junkie Too]

I'm going to stand by my comment that I made on June 30th:

---

I suspect that there was a bit of horse-trading going on with the recent rulings between Barrett and Jackson. They are both the newest Justices and they both made surprising joins with the majority on certain opinions.

At this point, I'm betting that Roberts made them switch certain votes so that the Court could appear moderate and not have the two newest Justices automatically labeled as being in one corner or the other.

We'll see, but that's where I am right now.

I'm still there. I think this action is more of the same. Roberts is forcing the Justices to take turns siding with the opposition to keep SCOTUS from looking too one-sided.
