Roberts dissented in Obergefell but there’s no way in hell that he’d overturn it now. That’s obvious when we see how he switched sides in the recent abortion restriction case to affirm an opinion that he himself had dissented from. Gorsuch & Kavanaugh are very establishment (i.e., LGBT-friendly), and likely have no stomach to overturn. It’s gonna take Barrett plus 2 new justices if/when Breyer & Sotomayor retire.

Agree. Roberts votes like a cowed back bencher in Parliament. When his vote doesn’t matter, he’s “allowed” to dissent but when they need him, he has to toe the party line. If this is true, wonder who is pulling his strings and how.
