With a handful of reasonable decisions being handed down by the Supreme Court, Josh Marshall opines that this really doesn't mean that our highest Court of functioning the way it should. I think he's right.
Yes, Roberts is concerned with the institution of the Court itself, and I think to a lesser degree Kavanaugh and Barrett share that concern. Dobbs may have shaken them more than they let on. However, I would expect them to basically end Affirmative Action this week and possibly overturn the Chevron case that allows for regulatory agencies to be flexible in how they apply rules.
There are enough votes right now to preserve gay marriage and some other fundamental civil and democratic rights, but when it comes to the interests of the wealthy, I would expect this Court to create novel legal theories to further enrich the wealthy.
