>> that's exactly the point that john roberts has been pushing since day one, when he was appointed by president george w. bush in 2005. he has always argued that the courts are not partisan, they're not political, and he's tried to say, you know, we are neutral decisionmakers, we're not politicians in robes. but you have a decision like this, jim and poppy, and how can it not be perceived as being political. in part because donald trump vowed to appoint only justices who would overturn roe and the five very hard right republican appointees are the five who are in the majority, who would not budge in the end, despite the pressure from a usually very persuasive chief justice. >> joan biskupic, huge scoop, really important reporting, thank you very, very much. >> thank you. >>> to russia next, our next guest says internationality sanctions against russia are working and they're really working in putting the squeeze on the russian economy. what other steps should world leaders take to try to stop putin's war in ukraine? that is ahead. your shipping manager left to “find themself.” lea

newly revealed details of how chief justice john roberts tried and failed to stop the u.s. supreme court from overturned roe versus wade, ending a half century of america's federal right to abortion. joan, what can you tell us about this behind the scenes effort by the chief justice to try to stop this? >> they voted on this case in december after oral arguments. it was essentially 5-1-3 with the five conservatives on the hard right wanting to uphold the mississippi ban on abortions at six weeks of pregnancy and to transform abortion rights, rolling back half a century of reproductive rights overturning roe. chief justice john roberts was in the middle saying he wanted to uphold the mississippi law, but didn't want to transform the landscape of abortion rights. he didn't believe they should unsettle the precedent. that's not why they took the case. turns out that -- the far right justices did. on the right were the three remaining liberals. he worked for weeks, months, trying to convince one of those five conservatives, his most likely candidate was brett kavanaugh. the chi

wade. >> multiple sources say chief justice john roberts fought to preserve the constitutional right to abortion. cnn legal analyst and supreme court biographer joan biskupic broke this story. joan, this is fascinating. how did chief justice roberts lobby his fellow conservative justices. >> well, you know, back in december after the oral arguments were held, a vote was taken, and it was essentially 5-1-3. 5 hard right conservatives wanting to uphold the mississippi ban on abortions at 15 weeks and to go even further and say roe v. wade should be history. rolling back nearly a half century of abortion rights. chief justice john roberts agreed that mississippi's ban should be upheld but said we did not take this case to reconsider roe so extensively. we should not do it. we should exercise judicial restraint. we should adhere to precedent, and then of course the three liberals, the three remaining liberals on this court who not only wanted to strike down the mississippi ban but they did not want to touch roe v. wade or the 1992 case that preserved it. so the chief justice for weeks, m

they're thinking can he do this because john roberts himself has switched his vote in the 11th hour. he famously in the obamacare case in 2012 did that. he's known for being quite canny and able to work these compromises at the very end. so he's doing this trying to make some progress and then suddenly on may 2nd this draft opinion becomes public. and what it does, it makes a very difficult task even harder because it locks in these votes. >> you have this fascinating nugget we found out on may 2 when politico published the draft but they knew for days because reporters were trying to verify it was a legit draft. the justices know this is about to go public. >> they know and, in fact, john, that afternoon of may 2nd, they were on a public stage doing a memorial service for the late justice john paul stevens. the service was being live streamed. they had to have the best poker faces. when i go back and look at that again, oh, my god, how did they hold themselves together knowing this huge decision was about to be made public? >> it's remarkable reporting. i urge you to go to cnn.com a

the next to nancy reagan was john roberts. and when john roberts was at library he began the story by saying as they sat down nancy reagan immediately extended an invitation to him to come to the library. he explained to her that he wasn't accepting invitations yet and as he described it by the third course, they were penciling in the date for his visit. if justice of the united states susceptible to her powers of persuasion thank you. gaylor can yeah i get i like jim. i remember my last visit with her which was in october of 2015. she passed away in march of 16. and she was in her wheelchair. she was perfectly quaffed the nails were done the earrings were on. but she was frail and and she had sort of half sentences not whole sentences. words, but it was clear to me. she was following the election. it was clear to me. she was up on everything that was going on at the library. i think they're just been a debate at the library. and and at one point sitting in this wheelchair and she was frail and small and and she said i think g

sources say chief justice john roberts fought to preserve the right to abortion. but clearly had failed to convince any of his fellow conservative justices. so what happened? cnn legal analyst is live with the new reporting. this is fascinating, joan. tell us what you learned. >> reporter: your question was right, what happened? what i wanted to know is what was the chief doing during this time and how were his colleagues reacting to him? when the justices first took a vote on this case in december, it was essentially 5-1-3. five justices on the far right to reverse roe, one justice in the middle, the chief, to uphold a ban from mississippi on abortions after 15 weeks, and then the three liberals who didn't want any disruption with abortion rights and wanted to strike down the mississippi law. the chief worked for weeks and weeks, months to try to pick off one of those five justices on the far right, to stop the overturning of roe. the justices, bianna, hadn't even taken the case originally to decide the momentous question of the future of roe. they had taken it o

at a noon ceremony, chief justice john roberts administered jackson a constitutional oath. she then took a judicial oath ministered by return justice stephen breyer, whom jackson clerked for after she graduated from harvard law school in 1996. outside the supreme court, police arrested more than 180 reproductive rights protesters thursday as they peacefully blocked an intersection in a massive show of nonviolent civil disobedience. the protest took place just six days after the court's conservative majority voted to strike down roe v. wade. 6-3 among those detained was reverend william barber, co-chair of the poor people's march, and democratic u.s. congressmember judy chu of california. melanie d'arrigo, a progressive democrat running for congress in long island, new york, said after her arrest -- "i was let go after a couple of hours -- but for millions of people in states where abortion, a critical health procedure, is now criminalized, their arrests will be far longer and far more severe." a court in kentucky has temporarily blocked the state's so-called trigger law abo

john roberts has served on the court since 2005 the george w bush nominee had this to say when asked about the 1973 roby wade decision. well senator the importance of settled expectations in the application of starry decisis is a very important consideration that was emphasized in the casey opinion, but also in other opinions outside that area of the law the principles of starry decisis. look at a number of factors settled expectations one of them and as you mentioned whether or not particular precedents have proven to be unworkable is another consideration on the other side whether the doctrinal basis of a decision have been eroded by subsequent developments, for example, if you have a case in which they're three precedents that lead and support that result and in the intervening period two of them have been overruled that may be a basis for reconsidering the the prior president. there's no there's no doc. doctrinal basis erosion and grow is there. well, right. i feel the need to stay away from a discussion of particular cases. i'm happy to discuss the principles of starry decisis a

chief justice john roberts, writing for the majority, at first acknowledged that "capping carbon dioxide emissions may be a sensible solution to the crisis of the day." but roberts declared that sweeping regulations like the one at issue in this case, aimed at reducing power plants' carbon output nationwide, go beyond the lawful authority of the epa, and must be approved by congress first. "a decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with congress itself," roberts wrote. the case was brought by west virginia's attorney general, representing a group of republican-led states and coal and mining companies. >> lot of people are going to try to make this into an issue about climate change. this is about ensuring that congress, not unelected bureaucrats, get to make the major decisions of the day. >> reporter: justice elena kagan, in a scathing dissent joined by the court's two other liberals, insisted that the clean air act, passed by congress more than 50 years ago, gives the epa flexibility to address climate change, and she blasted her conservative colleagues for taking it away.

john: chief justice john roberts wrote this opinion. what was his reasoning? >> the chief justice said under this provision, what epa was trying to do was such a national, transformational approach to going after greenhouse gas emissions that it required clear authority from congress to do so. in his opinion, he looked for that authority in the provision itself, or in the statute, and said there was no such authority. he said when an agency is going to engage in rule-making or regulation that has major significance, economic, political significance, other major consequences, then there has to be a clear directive from congress. john: so this could apply to other agencies in other areas? >> absolutely, john, because what the conservative majority did here, basically, was to adopt a doctrine known as the major questions doctrine. it's a doctrine that has been promoted by businesses and conservative advocates who regulatory state hroeral regulating public health and safety. john: chief justice roberts used the phrase "the administrative state." >> the dissent by

according to multiple sources chief justice john roberts fought to the bitter end trying to convince his former conservative justices to preserve the constitutional right to abortion. but it was the unprecedented leak of a draft opinion reversing roe that may have have doomed roberts' efforts. >> and the abortion rights drama that testified in april that the draft opinion would soon be published. tensions over the fate of roe were heightened over the course of the leak that diminished whatever chance roberts had to disloch the five votes to overturn the rule. >> joining us, joan biscupic. joan, tell us how hard he was fighting to bring some folks over to his time. >> good morning, brianna and john. extremely hard. he was trying week after week after the initial vote in december after oral arguments at which five zbruszs far on the right voted to overturn roe, roberts was alone in the middle wanting to uphold the ban on abortions but not go farther than roe, but of course, you have the three liberals saying we don't want to do any of this, we don't want to disrupt abortion rights at a

john, shortly after this happened, chief justice john roberts, the other john roberts, ordered the marshal of the court to lead the investigation, not the u.s. marshal, not the secret service, fbi or department of justice but the marshal of the court. and they say no disrespect to the marshal of the supreme court, but those that i've spoken to wonder if that specific agency can handle really what could be a cyber leak of this size. multiple sources tell fox news the investigation began with around 70 individuals in the court who may have had access to the draft opinion. sources say much of the initial focus was on three dozen are so law clerks who directly work with the justices on their case load. that number is now smaller. fox news previously reported they were asked to turn over their cell phones and sign affidavits. it's unclear if they have cooperated. also questions, john and sandra, could the leak have come from a united states supreme court justice. it's a legitimate question, one we have asked. again, the supreme court giving us a no comment and we are approaching three months in

all himself asked john roberts. and john marshall though is given this extraordinary credit as if he did everything on the marshall court and everyone else on that court was just sort of not doing very much at all. now some of that was because of the way they structured their opinions in having them almost always be written or in the name of the chief justice, but when you look at sort of behind the scenes to the extent that we can at the letters and other things that were exchanged among the justices and especially between washington and marshall you see that washington was very important and marshall said as much many times that he really relied on washington as a collaborator and a partner on all sorts of projects including the book that they wrote about george that that marshall wrote about george washington where bush rod was his editor and so, you know the opinions of the marshall court really should be seen as the i'm a team and the and a collective effort, you know law is a collective enterprise. no one pers
