It’s funny that Natalie praised John Roberts, because I think Roberts is so clearly concerned with maintaining the ‘legitimacy’ of the Supreme Court, yet he seems to give lots of weight to ‘not rocking the boat’, and in not having a principled stand on the interpretation of laws or the constitution, he instead de-legitimizes the court in a big way.
And it’s ironic to hear Shireen seeming to attribute government overreach there at the end to states and democracy now being able to vote on the contentious topic of abortion.
