I hate to disagree with Rick Oliver, but I think he is too optimistic about John Roberts.  What Roberts’ decision today tells us is that he is unlikely to ever cast a decisive vote against the consensus of the Washington elite.  This means that the Roberts court will never overturn Roe v. Wade, because such a decision would create even more controversy than overturning Obamacare would have.   And it also means that Roberts is unlikely to resist the strong political pressure that exists in elite circles to create a constitutional right to gay marriage.
