Chief Justice John Roberts Again Sides with Liberals

Washington Post: “Roberts was pointed in saying the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has ‘misapplied’ a 2017 ruling that instructed that court to reconsider its analysis of whether death-row inmate Bobby James Moore was intellectually disabled, and thus ineligible for execution. Less than two weeks ago, Roberts joined the liberals in stopping a Louisiana abortion law that was nearly identical to a Texas law the court had struck down in 2016.”

“Roberts’s role in the abortion and death penalty cases were notable partly because he had been in dissent in the original decisions.”
