Roberts, now in his 19th year as chief justice, on Monday topped off the list of watershed opinions reached this session through the 6-3 ruling finding allowing presidential immunity in Trump's case, but there were far more rulings that matched his priorities to curb federal power, reports The Wall Street Journal.
Instead, regulatory rollbacks and presidential power "are the areas he cares about," while "gun rights, abortion — those aren't as high on his list," Strauss told The Wall Street Journal. Deborah Pearlstein, the director of law and public policy, commented that increasing judicial power is at the top of Roberts' list of goals.
He proposed rolling back the landmark decision without fully eliminating the right to abortion, but the five other conservatives on the court pushed to overrule the 1973 precedent, while the three liberals would give no ground on it.
