Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts' control over the highest court may be on shaky ground after his recent decision to side with the liberal minority on the bench for a ruling regarding a Texas law banning most abortions when a fetal heartbeat is detected.

Roberts was on the losing side of the 5-4 decision, which ultimately allowed the ban on abortions after six weeks into a pregnancy to stay in place.
