in 1992 with the casey case, planned parenthood v. casey the anti-abortion side thought they would win that. they lost then. their lesson was we can t count on the court. it s surprising, 15 years ago i don t think the anti-abortion side thought they could count on the court. this is a surprising moment for them as well. you have written about this extensively, the chief justice of the united states john roberts has made it his mission to keep this court together and i put that word in quotation marks, to steer this court in a way to keep them in some ways noncontroversial. he has failed at that. what are the implications of the chief justice losing control of the supreme court? john, i don t know how he gets that back. the five to his right are all younger than him, the three new trump appointees are just in their 50s, john roberts is 67, i envision that he could stay easily 20 more years.
