Kavanaugh will seek to do the same. Both look at the wealth of work done to get the law passed, then try to save it for them.
Don’t waste time and worry by projecting...Roberts changed a word/concept to save a law...Kavanaugh seems to be willing to save a generally good/Constitutional law by excising the unconstitutional part...He’s no John Roberts until he proves otherwise - I doubt he will pull a Roberts and buckle under pressure because the pressure put on Roberts was immense and he caved. Roberts would have withdrawn and Bush would have agreed.
