DENVER (AP) — U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is set to make his first public appearance since the court overturned Roe v. Wade, speaking Friday night at a judicial conference in Colorado. Roberts is scheduled to be interviewed by two judges from the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is hosting the conference in Colorado Springs. The “fireside chat” with a current or previous justice usually focuses on the historic view of their career, not current events. Roberts did not vote to overturn Roe in June’s ruling but did vote to uphold Mississippi’s restrictive abortion law.
