She’s only alarmed because she will be part of the 4 instead of part of the 5.

That’s a reasonable assumption.

The Warren Court had plenty of 5-4 liberal decisions.

i hope you're correct.

I worry sometimes that Roberts will assume the deciding-vote status that Anthony Kennedy had. He's the most likely one to peel off, in order to preserve the "stature " of the court. Shakes head....

“She’s only alarmed because she will be part of the 4 instead of part of the 5.”

Probably true. But I suspect her real motive is to put public pressure on Roberts. He’s allergic to 5-4 decisions and to the notion of a divided Court.

Exactly right.

When she was part of the 5 she loved it and there was never any criticism.
