The majority (Roberts, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan) wrote a very narrow opinion—
Roberts is turning out badly for conservatives. He is basically a politician trying to make the Supremes look good and not deciding cases on their merit. This is obvious in the Obamacare decision where he knew that they would get major pushback if they invalidated the law. We also saw this in the CA traditional marriage Prop 8 case. Kennedy and the (other) leftists were ready right then and there to declare that the Constitution demands marriage be re-defined. He recruited Scalia and others to dodge the issue by saying that the Prop 8 defenders did not have standing. It’s not that he sees anything wrong with Kennedy’s views but doing it then would make the Supremes look bad so he will just wait a few years until the politics look better.
“Kennedy and the (other) leftists”
Kennedy has been giving me some reason for hope lately. But since he would probably uphold Roe v. Wade and vote liberal on the BIG social issues, I won’t argue with your calling him a “leftist”. I think he’s worth praying for though.
