Here is the funny part. Roberts voted to uphold the same law in Texas 4 years ago.

So this is why Louisiana copied the Texas law, and now Roberts flips his own vote.

“So this is why Louisiana copied the Texas law, and now Roberts flips his own vote.”

Roberts could afford to hide the last time. This time, he had to come out in the open. Am I wrong to wish he has a heart attack?

Exactly. This is strictly a stare decisis case to Roberts.

I think he viewed the LA law as being in bad faith since Whole Woman's Health was the same law and struck down by SCOTUS.

They were just trying to take advantage of the fact that we had an election and several justices had changed. In the absence of some new legal controversy Roberts saw it as purely political so voted against to protect the court.

Given a better challenge he will likely go back to his position in Woman's.
