Oh yes....Im sure John Roberts, the guy who over three decades ago, tried and failed to convince the Reagan Justice Department to endorse a number of radical legislative proposals that would strip the federal courts of jurisdiction to hear cases concerning such issues as school prayer, school busing, and abortion will save Roe V Wade.

Was such jurisdiction stripped?

No but its obvious that hes not going to save Roe. While I dont expect the Roberts Court to explicitly overturn Roe....they're just going to let states do what they want with abortion (along with most social issues)

Personally, i dont think this is such a bad idea, because even the perception of Roe being overturned would be a boon for progressives.

Roberts actually cares about his own legacy and the credibility of the court.  I don't think he wants his court to be the one that overturns Roe vs Wade.

As said before, the Roberts court is really sneaky because they rarely explicitly overturn previous cases. Some state will pass abortion restrictions, it'll make its way to SCOTUS, and they'll just greenlight for the states to do what they want regarding abortion.. But dont expect them to explicitly write in the opinion that this overturns Roe v. Wade.
