[See NewsBusters for more.] ABC journalists on Monday breathlessly broke in with live reaction to the Supreme Court striking down a Louisiana law restricting abortion. The pivotal fifth vote was provided by John Roberts who sided with the Court’s liberals. Of course, this mean that now Roberts “cares a great deal” about being apolitical. ABC also repeated Planned Parenthood talking points about the Court and 2020. ABC contributor Kate Show sympathized, “Roberts cares a great deal about the Court appearing to operate outside of politics, and I think for the Court to change course, to basically look at the exact law it struck down four years ago, but here a differently constituted Supreme Court to uphold that law, would be just to send the message the court is no more than politicians in robes.”
