Roberts voted against the leftists this time. Will he do the same when Trump’s ED for The Wall comes up?

Roberts votes Left if voting Right changes precedent. That is his big thing. While wrongheaded, I believe he thinks he is "protecting" the Court's legitimacy by not allowing precedent changing decisions. He's OK with incremental decisions to the right, but no more.
This decision, while welcome, doesn't change the normal course of business. In other words, this is no precedent changing decision.
