>>>“Conservative” Chief Justice John Roberts voted against Scalia and tipped the decision for the Left.

No. The vote was 5-3. If Roberts had voted with the other three conservatives, the 4-4 vote would have upheld the 9th Circuit’s decision. His vote on this made no difference.

Thanks.

I didn’t understand that a tie confirms the original decision.

Still, I’d like to read his personal thoughts on the three issues where he voted against Conservatives.
