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.

It is astounding.
This explains the odd and multiple horrific occurances visited on America this year.
I now believe that we dodged a bullet in 2012. A Romney presidency would have been far worse than Obama's second term.
Without question.
“....Since black infants are more likely per-capita to be aborted than white ones....”
We have conservative friends that just recently changed their whole position and attitude towards abortion & Planned Parenthood after all the destruction, the riots, mayhem, etc. started. They now fully support it and hope it increases!
They both agree that it is wrong to do, but as the husband put it: “I’d rather they be legally ripped to shreds in the womb, then to illegally have to fight them in the streets in the future.”
I was quite taken back by his statement as we’ve known this couple for a long time and had become close friends. I will say this: given all the recent events, his statement certainly gave me pause to think about it.
We may not like the decision, but all there goes the entire Democrat plan to energize their base due to the Supreme Court.
I confess wavering on it a few times myself, but I know that won't solve anything.
Which led to a comment that I said a few weeks back.
You want to see Democrats become “Pro-Life”? Suggest folks on welfare should have abortions if they get pregnant.
I’ve grown to despise the snarky, shit-eating smile this prick smears on his smug face.
Phony is as phony does.
That's probably the only bright side to this disaster.
However, be aware, this could also *intensify* their motivational efforts.
He's got more than a passing resemblance to Peter Stzrok.
Roberts is a disaster on that court!
at some point, instead of waiting and waiting for semi-vertical corpse “justices” to finally keep over dead4sure,
the Senate may wish to start impeaching a couple of these terrible, terrible, terrible “justices”..
“ America does not appear in Revelations.”
At this point, America will not appear in the 2022 yearbook.
“However, be aware, this could also *intensify* their motivational efforts. “
True, in theory, but not that I’ve seen in reality. It’s basically the difference between what ‘could’ happen and what ‘has happened’, and the second of the two seems to be far stronger for motivating our side and depressing their side. Look at 2010 and 1994 for examples. Our side kept saying that both Obama and Clinton are hard-core leftists (i.e., what could happen), but the middle of the country didn’t believe it, and so they got elected. Two years later, after seeing it first hand (i.e., what has happened), only THEN did they figure it out, at least as far as the midterms were concerned (of course they didn’t carry that anger through the re-election of those two - but that’s another area).
If Trump wins, I’ll just write off Roberts as another Souter, and accept the fact that the best that our side can do at the Supreme Court level is get it right about 75% of the time - which is still far better than the 0% that the Dems give us.
This unrepentant asshole. Has two adopted kids...wants to make it easier to abort unwanted babies. That’s what you get when you put a closet homo on the court.
Trump will nominate what he believes to a conservative, and gorsucks will switch.
Thomas must feel like the Lone Ranger, every time he thinks that the conservative side will prevail, one or two of the sons of bitches takes the right thumb outta their ass, sticks it into their mouth, and claims it is for "health care".
I look for Thomas, to retire during Trumps second term so that a real conservative can fill his position.
Roberts is on video screwing a chicken {or a dead 10 year old, of any gender} so he is lost.
Gorsucks is just finding out what the swamp has on him, and he is getting queasy, it will take a few more pix before he caves.
Gorsucks didn't realize how digital enhancement can show acts performed in the dark.
SAD.
“Thanks Bush. Thanks Roberts.
I wish Roberts had been aborted. Would have been a life I’d have been overjoyed to have NOT protected.
Grinning GW Bush is the gift that keeps on giving. A RINO might be worse than a Democrat. You can COUNT on a Democrat to be evil.
This explains the reason that America is quickly being destroyed. God has simply had it with us. We will be a footnoe in history.”
I think Bush knew from the beginning what Roberts was and they had it figured out to present himself as a conservative to get through the confirmation, then he could enact the deep state agenda. I have absolutely no respect for either Roberts or Bush. That left a long time ago.
