I haven’t read the Sowell piece, but that is exactly what I have been saying, that Roberts’ ruling was not an outlier. It was based on who he is, a Harvard trained statist communist/socialist, who was embarassed to stand up and be counted as a conservative originalist.
Roberts is one of them, not one of us. He never was a conservative. He was a pragmatist, who voted present whenever a difficult question was asked, just like Obama.
