Chief Justice John Roberts, who has at times sided with the liberal wing of the court, still appears set to oppose the decision, with the report noting that Roberts was still attempting to persuade Coney Barrett and Kavanaugh to take a more incremental approach to allowing abortion restrictions.Once the decision is made, John Roberts may join. He prefers 6-3 over 5-4 decision. Also, he may not appreciate being "intimidated" by the Left. Wait and see.

Also if the CJ votes with the majority, he can assign the opinion, which a liberal chief might do to moderate the ‘damage’. In this case, I’m not sure if that helps, because there are still five that could issue a concurring opinion. Is a concurring opinion binding if signed by a majority? I don’t know. I assume so.

He may not appreciate it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work on him.

If he joins the majority then he can write the opinion and water it down. Roe is only overturned on Tuesdays when it’s raining and there’s a full moon because constitution or something.
