Ross Douthat has a post on it. Ed Whelan’s account of his testimony during the hearings on his confirmation to the Supreme Court is worth keeping in mind, too. Bottom line: Roberts said nothing that precludes, or even tells against, the possibility that he would vote to overturn Roe in a case where the question was squarely presented. Given his judicial minimalism, however, I think that Roberts will be reluctant to find that a case does require him to affirm or to overturn Roe.
