Supreme Court Strikes Down Louisiana Abortion Restrictions

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday struck down a Louisiana law that could have left the state with a single abortion clinics. The vote was 5 to 4, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. voting with the court’s four-member liberal wing but not adopting its reasoning. The chief justice said respect for precedent compelled him to vote with the majority.

It was a 5-4 decision with Chief Justice Roberts joining with the liberals (though not agreeing with their reasoning). I don’t care how he justifies his vote. A win is a win.
