(CNN) — Roberts does NOT want to completely overturn Roe v Wade, meaning he apparently would be dissenting from Alito's draft opinion, likely w the court's 3 liberals, sources tell CNN.

Roberts is willing, however, to uphold MS law banning abortion at 15 weeks, CNN learned.

1. That's awfully magnanimous of him

4. Meaning there is no hope.

Unless someone gets him a beer bong the day before the vote and he's too hung over to go to work.

3. Splitting the baby.

11. If he was willing to uphold the 15 week Mississippi law, is that really splitting?

5. Republicons like him rarely vote the right way

if their vote really matters. 5-4 or 6-3, same result.

6. He wants it to happen, he just doesn't want to get all the hate-tweets

7. Roberts counters a leak with a leak. He doesn't want this shit on his shoes.

12. Which is why I think he leaked it in the first place.

8. K&R for, we'll take a half-weasel

9. USSC is 100% a political body now, FAUX NewZ is no doubt ruling the court

10. All along I thought the best-case scenario for abortion rights...

... would be Roberts cobbling together some compromise that preserves most of Roe. Roberts is supposed to be very aware of SCOTUS's public stature and doesn't like rocking the boat too much. But it appears that he's failed, and the writing was on the wall when SCOTUS didn't immediately strike down the Texas bounty hunter law.
