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.

140 supreme court decisions have been reversed. Robert’s position is that none of them should have been.

He is a liberal.Correct.
It can no longer be his illegally-adopted children, they are grown.
It can no longer be the fact he went gay when he was younger, that is no longer taboo.
It is, SIMPLY, that he is a liberal. Period. Full stop.

I told everyone back during the ObamaCare vote, that this wasn’t going to be the only time he was going to vote with the liberals.

“Sides with liberals”? He IS a stinking liberal. So was George W. Bush for all intent and purposes. I think that’s fairly easy to see at this point.

The Supreme Court is finished as an institution.Quite unfortunately, untrue.
It still is an institution, but it is an institution of injustice and evil.
America will be destroyed by God. Mark my words.

No, he has excommunicated himself and is no longer a Catholic.

If we are lucky this will drive voters to vote against Biden or whomever the Dems end up with in November.

Very disappointing! Roberts is a real traitor.

Well, lets look at the bright side of unmitigated disaster and the taking of innocent life: No longer can liberals claim they need to vote against Trump to protect Roe V. Wade.
