because the four dissenters are saying look, we think these laws are okay and the chief justice pointedly did not join that. where was roberts on the 2016 texas law? he voted with the conservatives there. so it s not a given where he s going to be. he does that sometimes. he ll actually vote one way and lose and then continue to vote the way, against what he did before because he believes in it. here s two sides of the policy. the louisiana side of the policy is if you you were to do this it would guarantee a higher degree of competency by the clinician involved in the procedure. is there a good argument to be made that having privileges at a hospital that is proximate to where you re doing this procedure will increase the level of physician competence? i wanted to get the language right? it was a really bad argument in texas. it was a smoke screen for basically restricting access and i suspect the same thing will be true in louisiana.
