Roberts didn’t write a dissent like the 3 others- Breyer Sotomayor & Kagan- did.

It’s not 6-3. It’s 5-4.

Read this thread…Majority takes Roberts to the woodshed.

6-3 majority in favor of the decision to uphold the constitutionality of the Missisippi law in question. 5-4 majority in favor of the Court’s opinion that overturning the controlling precedent (Roe, Casey) is the appropriate way to accomplish said “upholding” (Roberts being yoo faint of heart to “go there”).

The ruling is 6-3 ONLY on whether to uphold the particular Miss law at issue. One whether to overturn Roe it was 5-4, with Roberts voting with the left to uphold both the Miss law AND Roe.

“Over the protests of Chief Justice John Roberts, who voted to uphold Missisippi’s 15-week abortion ban but not to overturn Roe, the status quo of the past 49 years is gone. (The three liberal justices dissented in full.)” https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-supreme-courts-argument-for-overturning-roe-v-wade/
