#1 Mark Levin says Roberts is a disgrace:

A 'disgrace' yes. A surprise? Hardly.

#2 Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joined the court’s four liberals in putting a hold on the law, pending a full review of the case.

Not exactly "BLOCK". "Delayed" would be more accurate

#3 Yes, and I can see him doing an RBG just as an intentional balance so that it CAN get before the SC. He delayed it, but didn't block it, just as Frank G. said.

#4 The overturned milk truck "blocked" traffic causing many motorists a delay.

#5 John Roberts has been a disgrace, but not a particularly surprising one, for most of his career. Only fools keep getting surprised by a useful idiot continuing his ways.

#6 I think we can all agree now that W's legacy is officially shit.

The Roberts appointment certainly hasn't turned out to be a high point.

#8 I believe someone has some dirt on Roberts and at certain times when a vote comes up .. has influence on his decision.

Yes, strange his obvious transformation. Very strange. Life-time appointment should go the way of the Studebaker.

The Bush family.The gits that keep on grifting.

I'm thinking there' needs to be a GoFundme (or non-pozzed equivalent) to hire investigators to dig into Roberts (and a lot of other judges, besides)

#11 So he does not understand the Right to Life, and he is a Justice?

#12 #11 He understands; he just doesn't care.

When it comes to the Ruling Class, never ascribe to ignorance that which could be rooted in malice.

#13 I don't know but I'm guessing the purpose of this law is so if something goes wrong with the abortion the abortionist can have the victim admitted to hospital. What happens if he can't? Delays could be disastrous.

#14 RBG did vote. No one needed to pick up the slack.

This was a procedural vote, not a final disposition of the case.

And the LA law clearly runs afoul of a 2016 SCOTUS ruling. If the court is going to reconsider after just 3 years, I'm not against dotting the i's and crossing the t's.

#15 O dM2118 may be right. The Bezos flap suggests to me that quite a few people have access to surprising details about other people's lives.

I suspect that the big data trawling won't find a lot of terrorists, but the same data might be very useful for drilling down on particular people's details.
