The Justice John Roberts Flip!

Here's the story on Justice Roberts last minute reversal, and his resistance to the conservative members to change his mind. The reaction to Roberts decision shows how conservatives nationwide expect this court to be, and their alright with that.



According to Think Progress, there might be a problem with leaked information:
To be clear, at this point only two facts are confirmed: 1) According to Crawford, Roberts flipped his vote midstream; and 2) someone within the Court must have leaked her this information. It is perfectly appropriate for Justice Kennedy, or any other justice, for that matter, to internally lobby Roberts to try to obtain his vote in an important case. If a member of the Court has turned to conservative columnists like Will or reporters like Crawford in order to pressure and then embarrass Roberts, however, that would be a significant and unusual escalation from the justices’ regular tactics.
