The last line in the John Roberts -> Abortion section is not factually correct. The current line says, "In 2022, Roberts, joining Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan in the minority, voted against overturning Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization."
In fact, Chief Justice Roberts did not join the three others. He did not vote against or in dissent. He just did not join the Majority opinion of the court. Roberts concurred in judgment. Thus, "In a 6–3 judgment, the Court reversed the Fifth Circuit's decision and remanded the case for further review. The majority opinion, joined by five of the justices, held that abortion was not a protected right under the Constitution, overturning both Roe and Casey, and returned the decision regarding abortion regulations back to the states." One can argue that he did not want to overturn the Roe precedent, but this statement makes it look like he was dissenting in the actual Opinion. That plainly is not true.

- CHANGE "joining Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan in the minority, voted against overturning Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization." TO "joining the Majority Opinion of the Court, voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. Although he did not agree with the Majority's rationale so he offered his own Concurring Opinion in judgment."

Like what I've done for the 3 chief justices before him, please put a list of presidents served under. 147.147.123.224 (talk) 15:50, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
- Not done The U.S. Supreme Court is not "under" the president. The federal judiciary is a co-equal branch of the federal government. Chief justices do not serve "under" any president. Please note that the "President" field of the infobox is not used for speakers of the House or for presidents pro-tempore of the Senate as they too do not serve "under" any president.

Conflict of interest issue[edit]
Should the massive amount of money his wife has garnered that has been suggested as being a form of lobbying be included in the article?
