Is Chief Justice Roberts trying to balance the court!
By The Real Side -

Chief Justice John Roberts has made common cause with the Supreme Court’s liberal bloc as late, breaking with his conservative colleagues on cases relating to abortion, the death penalty and President Donald Trump’s revised rules for asylum seekers.

Whether Roberts’s recent maneuvers reflect a substantive change in his approach to cases remains to be seen. In isolation, it’s difficult to know what to make of the chief’s votes.

That he is parting with his conservative legal views seems unlikely. This, after all, is a jurist who voted to uphold the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act and strike down limits on firearms possession, corporate campaign expenditures and all manner of race-conscious programs. Yet his recent moves are all the more interesting for that very reason.

No.  There are a few landmark cases that Roberts has strangely veered left at the worst time.  I still truly beleive that there are high level left wing elements that have damaging goods on him, and are holding him hostage .... .

Has to do with which country his adopted daughters were actually born in I believe.
