In a series of striking moves on immigration, LGBTQ rights and now abortion, Chief Justice John Roberts has sided with the Supreme Court's four liberal justices and established himself as one of the most influential figures in America today
Washington Chief Justice John Roberts has shattered societal and political expectations of the conservative Supreme Court and thrust it -- and his stewardship -- to the center of the national scene.
In a series of striking rulings over the last two weeks on immigration, LGBTQ rights and now abortion, Roberts has sided with the court's four liberal justices and established himself as one of the most influential figures in America today. His decision Monday to invalidate a Louisiana regulation on physicians who perform abortions affirms a 2016 ruling -- that he protested at the time -- and continues to preserve a woman's decades-old constitutional right to end a pregnancy.
Toobin: Here's why Roberts sided with liberal justices 02:10Rulings are often on procedure and precedentRoberts' opinions joining with the court's liberals over the past two weeks lacked such lofty language as his comments on Marshall and Taney. Still, in Monday's abortion case, the man who is known for holding his cards close to the vest put his current priority on the table. Past rulings matter, even if he was not part of those rulings.
