Roberts

Today's Supreme Court decision, which protects a women's right to choose, provides an example of a conservative versus the radical right.

The four rightwing radicals on the court voted to give the states the power to make abortions almost impossible. The four liberals voted the other way. John Roberts voted to maintain an earlier decision (which he had originally disagreed with), because the earlier decision--which he had voted against-- had set a precedent, giving women the right to choose. He upheld the status quo, the precedent.

Conservatives are cautious.  They want changes to be few, minor and slow in coming. We don't have a conservative party in this country. We have a raving loony party.
