Roberts has spent almost his entire professional life in Washington, and this diminishes the Constitution,these people are all in for Obama and full of sh**.

Roberts voted with the majority in AZ so he could write the decision himself.

The focus was on only 4 points of a far larger piece of law. He managed to get through the only really important part ~ check status of people stopped ~ and avoided having the whole law chucked into the crick ~ which one of the Leftwingtards would have done.

If he did the same thing here, look for a sort of reversal of the process in AZ. Let's say Roberts wrote the decision in ObamaKKKare by voting with the/a majority that agreed on maybe only 1 thing, e.g. meddicaid eligibility.

So he takes that and hedges it in a bit, still satisfactory to the working majority.

He then finds OTHER 5/4 majorities for tossing out a whole nest of other things including a 9-0 agreement on chucking out the individual mandate (which is otherwise a very tiny part of the bill).

That would result in something very much like the result described by Ruthy Ginsburg ~ to wit, lots of divisions.

Larry Tribe underestimates his student. Larry would never be that clever mostly because he, himself, is a rather doltish thinker.

Alternatively, he could have early on recognized that the individual mandate was popular with the court's majority, and simply voted with them to get the right to write the majority decision, and left Obamakkkare with nothing but the individual mandate!

That'd be equally divisive I think, but certainly effective.
