Justice Antonin Scalia said he hasn’t had a “falling-out” with Chief Justice John Roberts, dismissing reports of a rift over the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld President Barack Obama’s health-care law.
Roberts cast the deciding vote in the case, breaking with his fellow Republican appointees, including Scalia. Days after the June 28 ruling, CBS News, citing unnamed people, said that Roberts had switched sides during the court’s internal deliberations and that his conservative colleagues felt betrayed.
