Washington (CNN)Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the liberal justices on the Supreme Court on Monday to block a controversial Louisiana abortion law that critics said would have closed nearly every clinic in the state.

The 5-4 ruling is a win for supporters of abortion rights who argued that the law was not medically necessary and amounted to a veiled attempt to restrict abortion. The law barred doctors from performing the procedure unless they had admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. The majority opinion was penned by Justice Stephen Breyer, who wrote that the majority "consequently hold that the Louisiana statute is unconstitutional." Breyer added later: "The evidence also shows that opposition to abortion played a significant role in some hospitals' decisions to deny admitting privileges." The ruling continues a trend of Roberts siding with liberals in major cases. He previously has upheld the program allowing undocumented immigrants who came into the US as children to remain and sided with opinion that extended anti-discrimination protections to LGBTQ workers.

Laws for conservatives = controversial

“Contorversial abortion law”.

Laws for liberals = common sense

“Common sense gun control”.
“Common sense health reform.”
“Common sense police defunding”

Nope, face facts. Roberts doesn’t HAVE to be blackmailed. He is simply another Ivy League, east coast, liberal Catholic, DC leftist homosexual.

He is voting exactly the way he wants. Nobody is forcing him to do anything. I am not sure why anyone thinks he ever WAS a conservative of any sort.

Beautifiullly said, “God has had it with us”.

We had the Lord’s divine protection when we were a moral people. Now that we are no longer moral, we no longer have God’s divine protection.

It makes you wonder how bad Soddom & Gomorrah were that we are still standing. By Old Testament standards, we should have been smited long ago. Flood II: the sequel.

Shamefully, he calls himself a Catholic. The scandal he causes, he will have to answer for.

Flood II: the sequel.


Ah, but it will not be a flood again. That was promised.

Gen 9:15 and I will remember My covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life.

But one has to read between the lines.......................

“When is the last time he decided anything in a remotely conservative way?”

During his confirmation hearings to get the appointment.

The question for Chief Justice Roberts is this: In the Brown v. The Board of Education case would he have voted to maintain Plessy v. Ferguson on the basis of stare decisis?
