Chief Justice John Roberts joined with fellow conservative Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch to grant Republicans’ request in part, though Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch indicated they would have granted the entire request.
Liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, along with conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, would have denied the request in full.
Is it me or does it seem that Coney Barrett might be reading the room better than the rest of the corrupt justices? Been seeing her dissenting from the rest of the conservatives more and more.
There’s a rotating cast. Sometimes it’s Roberts, sometimes it’s Gorsuch, sometimes it’s Kavanaugh, but usually it’s a lone defection and not enough to flip the result. Maybe they’re doing it on purpose to give the impression that it’s not a 6-3 ideological monolith while almost always still ending up with conservative results. They’re not idiots and they’re well aware of their role as a political actor.
Yeah, I see it as tactical, and not necessarily an accurate reflection of their ideology. Yeah, they’re aware, but they’re also trying to tweak their public perception towards the direction of “well, they’re not THAT bad”, but they very much are.

I kind of feel like seeing the way the conservative sausage gets made might be having an effect on her.
