Washington (CNN)Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the liberal justices on the Supreme Court on Monday to block a controversial Louisiana abortion law that critics said would have closed nearly every clinic in the state.
The 5-4 ruling is a win for supporters of abortion rights who argued that the law was not medically necessary and amounted to a veiled attempt to restrict abortion. The law barred doctors from performing the procedure unless they had admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. The majority opinion was penned by Justice Stephen Breyer, who wrote that the majority "consequently hold that the Louisiana statute is unconstitutional." Breyer added later: "The evidence also shows that opposition to abortion played a significant role in some hospitals' decisions to deny admitting privileges." The ruling continues a trend of Roberts siding with liberals in major cases. He previously has upheld the program allowing undocumented immigrants who came into the US as children to remain and sided with opinion that extended anti-discrimination protections to LGBTQ workers.

Always good to see you posting.
I know, I know, but the CNN angle on it was much better to demonstrate Robert’s true nature.
This guy Roberts (Souter redux) has now completely out if the closet and proud of his Marxist purpose to destroy the Nation as it was constituted...
He may also be trying to drive Alito and Thomas off the bench... I suspect he would like to see them replaced with a husband & wife combo... Yes, you know who I mean...
Thanks brah. Wish I had better news to post.
Yup, how much worse than sucking the brains out of unborn children, can you get?
Nah. The children are fully grown.
What the compromise is, must be much worse.
What could possibly be worse than being a liberal?
Being a liberal and proud of it.
When will it be acted upon that that Roberts needs to leave the court? He is a failed, flawed, and compromised Chief Justice.
Yup, i guess so
Roberts is either a snake in the grass, orrrr, he’s under duress to rule the way he does, AND is a snake in the grass. Those three 2D libs on the court have to be replaced, and soon, and it won’t matter what the turncoat Roberts does.
Brown v. Board did not overturn Plessy v. Ferguson. Earl Warren didn't have the votes to do that.
The ruling was confined to K-12 schools and it was based on "new insights from psychological research".
Another justice will flip to the dark side since Roberts voted to uphold a similar law in Texas in 2016 when there were 5 votes to throw it out.
It won’t be Alito or Thomas.
The banking and business forces are socially liberal and will not tolerate any deviations. Another Republican pick will have to follow Roberts lead.
Yes it will be Gorsuch or Kavanaugh or the new justice selected by a re-elected Donald Trump.
Whatever happened to John Roberts?
Nothing, he is what he is, a liberal, who fooled W (not that was hard to do, mind you)
It is so hard to convey humor over the inernet. That is why so many forums have emojies.
What’s wrong with the NSA? It’s got to have the blackmail record on Roberts with regard to his not so legal adoption of his children. Let someone convince me the guy has not been either blackmailed or bought out. Whichever, it’s impeachable conduct and he needs to go.
John Roberts is a slob. He pretended to be a conservative, but in fact he is a staunch liberal. He is worse than someone who does not pretend to be conservative.
John Roberts and Chris Wray, both masters of the s**t-eating grin. That grin is all one needs to see. It is the grin of one never to be trusted.
In Wray’s case, he simply is and always has been a member of the bureaucratic swamp. As for Roberts, one has to wonder just who is blackmailing him and for what reasons. His written decisions, whether on Obamacare, or Obama’s DACA Executive Order are so tortured as to almost be comical.
