If you haven't heard enough from the Roberts confirmation hearings

The LA Times printed an interesting article today about the writing of the majority opinion for Roe v Wade:

"It is the story of a rookie justice, unsure of himself and his abilities, who set out to write a narrow ruling that would reform abortion laws, not repeal them.

It is also the story of a sometimes rudderless court led by Chief Justice Warren Burger. On the day the ruling was announced, Burger said, "Plainly, the court today rejects any claim that the Constitution requires abortion on demand."
