Hi clo,

I have read this and the timeline makes sense. But also that he clearly spent considerable time writing his opinion.

So it seems he changed his vote having thought for some time about his reasons for doing so.

Having convinced himself, he switched his vote at the last minute.

Hi Cactus Flower,

I'd like to believe you are correct.

However, if Robert's did change his vote at the last minute as inferred here, then I think the 'legacy' of The Robert's Court trumped.

Paul Campos was the guest on the Young Turks, that I referenced. This is a snipett.

Did John Roberts switch his vote?

.....
It is impossible for a lawyer to read even the first few pages of the dissent without coming away with the impression that this is a majority opinion that at the last moment lost its fifth vote. Its structure and tone are those of a winning coalition, not that of the losing side in the most controversial Supreme Court case in many years. But when we get to Page 13, far more conclusive evidence appears: No less than 15 times in the space of the next few pages, the dissent refers to Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s concurring opinion as “Justice Ginsburg’s dissent.”
