It is odd that the court has decided to rehear the case so soon after ruling on it (and so soon after the election). I remember there was a theory floating around that Chief Justice Roberts only sided with the liberals because he thought the Republicans would take control of the Senate and the Presidency. He wanted Obamacare gone, but wanted to keep the courts “hands clean” and hoped the new Republican majority would repeal Obamacare. This case will give him a second opportunity to strike down Obamacare but still keep a semblance of independence, after all he upheld it once on different grounds...

As for Roberts on the ruling, I’m betting it was blackmail. They Petraeused him.

he did more than hope for the pubs to take control... he gave the pubs tools, with his ruling, to dismantle most of the libs more cherished programs...

he gave us ammo to fight with..

he also warned us that we get the government we elect...

we failed on the election, and if one of the conservative justices retires or goes away, so does the ammo roberts gave us..

his hands are not clean, he wrote an opinion that decimates the libs, and the only way to get it was the road he took..

those that call him a traitor are indeed misguided. He is not the traitor, those that stayed home on election day are the true traitors, and they as a group just disgust me..

they should be banned from this website.

They want to do it soon before Obama has a chance to nominate any more liberal justices.

Get me up to speed on how this would strike down ObamaCare. I thought this case strictly deals with religious institutions. I'm not being sarcastic. I just would like to know how this affects ALL of ObamaCare.

Roberts and the rest of the Republicans are being blackmailed. Either that or they are self-serving politicians who care more about their own careers than our Constitution and our country. Probably the latter.
