The order was issued “per curiam”, meaning that no one justice claimed authorship for the majority order.

Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett, JJ., were in the majority that declined to enjoin the effectiveness of the Texas law. Their order, and the Roberts dissent, can be read and downloaded at this link:

Roberts, C.J., and Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan, JJ., dissented. Each one of them filed a dissent. Roberts in particular is one disgraceful human being.
