I doubt that Roberts told Joe that personally.

What is certain, though, is that those heartbeat laws are going to all be challenged immediately. What happens after the District courts rule is harder to predict. Will permanent injunctions against those new laws be issued by one or more federal district courts? Will appeals courts take the case up on an emergency basis? Will the SCOTUS grant certiorari on one or more of them?

We don't know yet. Joe doesn't know. He's making an informed guess.

It's up to the federal courts. How quickly they move remains to be seen.
