Statement from CJ John Roberts today:

I joined the dissent in Whole Woman’s Health (Note: This is the Texas abortion case which was identical to the Louisiana case and in which Roberts dissented from the majority and joined the conservatives) and con- tinue to believe that the case was wrongly decided. The question today (i.e. Louisiana case of June 29th) however is not whether Whole Woman’s Health was right or wrong, but whether to adhere to it in deciding the present case.

So Roberts is saying he picks and chooses which of HIS OWN precendents to follow.

Hack, totally corrupted and owned hack.

Can this be explained in a Dummies’ For Non-Legal Minds version?

Sounds like a loyal (or captive) party member who is "allowed" to vote against the whip when his vote won't matter, but not when they need him.
