[The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday blocked Louisiana from enforcing a law that women's groups said would leave only a single doctor legally allowed to perform abortions in the state.
By a 5-4 vote, the court said the restrictions must remain on hold while challengers appeal a lower court decision in favor of the law. Chief Justice John Roberts voted with the court's liberal members.
Roberts was the deciding vote, just as I predicted a couple of weeks ago. Damn, I'm good. LOL.

It remains to be seen how long Roberts will uphold Roe, but Kavanaugh proved every liberal and moderate right today, when we told everyone he was lying about his respect for Roe as case law.Roberts was the deciding vote, just as I predicted a couple of weeks ago. Damn, I'm good. LOL.

"Please wake up" doesn't mean anything. Best to just say whatever it is you want to say.Every 5-4 SCOTUS ruling is bad for America.
Please wake up.

You're the one that wanted me to do something. If you won't tell me what you want, it just makes you look like the one crying.Your failure to extract the meaning is all on you.
Dont be crying to me about it.

Correct.No, they didn't block the law, or rule on any law for that matter. They just put it on hold until the case can be heard. Then they'll rule on it.
Death by a thousand cuts is how Roe will die.
That’s absurd. Split votes are exactly why there are odd number of justices and why a simple majority is all that is needed.Every 5-4 SCOTUS ruling is bad for America.
Please wake up.

Except it won’t because the vast majority of Americans favor some sort of abortion rights.Honestly, I think it's very fitting for a law like Roe. let its death be slow and painful.

Perhaps you can explain why it’s bad for America?
SCOTUS rulings are discrete — they either affirm or overturn the case in controversy, regardless of the tally. A ruling isn’t any more clear if the vote is 9 to 0.Because we need to understand that the law is clear.

The New York law has this language:"some sort" Well you know, that could mean anything. I think if the mother's life is in danger, and of course, the child hasn't been born, how could you not abort the pregnancy? The mother's life is in danger, you can only do so much.

In Thursday's ruling, Kavanaugh voted with the conservatives — Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch.
Kavanaugh filed a dissent, writing only for himself. He said he would have allowed the law to take effect in order to see whether it would impose a burden on women's access to abortion in the state.
It remains to be seen how long Roberts will uphold Roe, but Kavanaugh proved every liberal and moderate right today, when we told everyone he was lying about his respect for Roe as case law.

Who with a working brain believed him in the first place? I said working brain.
Well, then, make the intellectual case for disbelieving him, based on his substantive record as a judge.
