Republican Chief Justice John Roberts again joining the Supreme Court liberals in a 5-4 ruling.    This time the decision involves abortion clinic regulations in Louisiana that required abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.

Roberts, appointed by former President George W. Bush, appearing to flip flop on the issue in this ruling because he ruled in favor of similar regulations in Texas when the court majority was "liberal" in 2016 and Roberts was one of the minority supporting the regulations.

NEW YORK TIMES STORY ON MSN

(Comment)

The abortion issue a tough and contentious one but this ruling from Roberts reminds us that the Republican Party behind him is backed by powerful forces of banking and business that want things like unrestricted immigration and social liberalism.    John Roberts seeing to it that those forces are appeased in his recent rulings on LGBT employment, children of illegal immigrants and now abortion in his recent votes.

French police protests forced a government climb down from the notion of a ban on police use of choke holds following the murder of George Floyd in the United States.    That move by the government last weekend was followed a few days later by the story of  Cedric Chouviat.

Choviat reported to have said "I'm suffocating" in video seen by the media in France.    The video showing police attempting to pin him down.      He died in a hospital two days after his arrest during a traffic stop in January.     Four police officers reported to have been questioned about what happened.

Hundreds of police gathered to protest at the Bataclan in Paris last night.   That place the site of a massive terrorist attack.     They again threw handcuffs onto the ground.    Police actively pushing back against the campaign accusing them of violence and racism.
