I think Roberts was not inclined to join the majority but saw it was going to pass 5-4. So he joined the majority.

Because Roberts is the senior juror as Chief, he thus got to pick who would author the opinion. He appointed Gorsuch.

Otherwise the person deciding who would author the opinion would have been... RBG.

Gorsuch wrote a much more measured and limited opinion than RBG or her delegate would have. For example it says nothing about when this law comes in conflict with laws protecting religious freedom.

So I suspect Roberts joined the majority to soften the impact.

Had Gorsuch and Roberts both stuck to conservative principles it should have gone the other way. Clear Congress was not writing about men who cut their penis off when they wrote the law those decades ago!

Please, the leftists don't even do that. Those idiots wake up and say, "I am a girl now because I say I am," and call it good.
