By every measurement, the recent Supreme Court decision in June Medical v. Russo, striking down a Louisiana law requiring abortionists to have hospital admitting privileges within a 30-mile radius of their facilities, was thin stuff. The margin was 5-4, and the deciding vote was provided by Chief Justice John Rogers. He had not only joined the dissent in a very similar case out of Texas four years earlier, but he went out of his way in this case to state that the previous dissent still represents his point of view.
