>>if this case gets a 5-4 Roberts turncoat opinion, all those hard-won rights in other states are in peril.
Roberts voted with the majority in the Heller decision.
“Roberts voted with the majority in the Heller decision.”
Heller left crazy gun regulations wide open. I suspect that’s the only reason he voted for it.
One of his MO’s is to take a victory that would be a constitutional victory and write such a narrow opinion that it has almost no precedential value.
What he did in the Masterpiece Bakery case is unforgivable. A truly important constitutional decision could have been made. Instead, he forced such a narrow ruling that Jack Phillips immediately got sued again on the same issue and this time, the Colorado EEOC and Courts will rule against him but not be so stupid as to publicly admit their animosity.
Roberts is not a friend of the Constitution. His only interest appears to be not making any controversial conservative rulings. (He’s good with controversial leftist rulings).
Trumps MR K pretty much always follows Roberts.
