How did they intimidate him?

Had Roberts voted against it, it would have ended 4-4, thus upholding the 9th circuits decesion. So Roberts’ vote did not matter. Why Roberts voted with the majority was to assign the Per Curiam opinion, thus shaping it, to Kennedy.

By the way, you call yourself a Conservatarian.
But I think you are really a Conservatrarian. :)
