Has the swing Justice Kennedy’s replacement been hiding in the form of Chief Justice Roberts?
Quite possibly, Roberts will become the swing vote, as he has sided with the liberals sometimes, notably on the issue of Obamacare.
So the revised lineup will be:
LIBERALS
Ginsburg
Breyer
Kagan
Sotomayor
CONSERVATIVES
Thomas
Alito
Gorsuch
Kavanaugh
and the ninth justice is John Roberts.
