I guess Valerie Jarret didn’t threaten to blackmail him on the gay marriage thing.

Because it’s all just a dog and pony show.

Maybe he’s like Bruce Jenner.

Bruce one day, Catlin the next and you’re supposed to accept both as to who they are depending on what day it is.

Roberts did not cast the deciding vote on ObamaCare - it was a 6-3 decision.

Justice Kennedy cast the deciding swing vote and as the swing vote he would have been given the power of the actual writing the decision.

Roberts could have cast a futile and inconsequential vote against the case to make it a 5-4 vote

However, by voting with the majority, as Chief Justice, Roberts had the power to control much of the actual content of went into the written decision.

SCOTUS ObamaCare decision was a horrible decision, but it would have been much, much worse and even more overreaching if Roberts had not voted with the majority and had some control over the drafting of the decision and Kennedy was the go to guy with power to write the ObamaCare decision, as we see in Kennedy's drafting of the Gay Marriage decision.

As an added bonus, with Roberts handling the decision, it freed Justice Scalia up to write the dissent instead of Roberts

I see Roberts vote for Obama Care as tactical maneuver to allow him to use his Chief Justice position have influence on writing of the actual content of the ObamaCare decision which is actually a very important factor.

Shut up, Fat Tony. You support same-sex marriage because it is part of your Lie-bertarian religion.

He wrote the majority and minority ruling for Obamacare. I no longer recognize any laws from the US government. Until it is overthrown and reestablished based on constitutional principals.

Hell, give him a few more court cases and he can sound like whatever you want at the pull of the string.

I don’t buy the “blackmail” angle on this. Why would they blackmail him when they didn’t even need his vote?

Schizophrenia is a tragic, indeed DEADLY thing — for the NATION.

But, in this case, the cause is known.

Roberts’ almost certainly sided with the dissenters on the homosexual marriage thing ONLY because he knew the other side had the votes to swing it obozo’s way.
And WHY would he do that after saving obozocare TWICE? Here’s a really good reason:
Speculation is rife that obama and his minions KNOW that the Chief Justice VIOLATED THE ADOPTION LAWS OF IRELAND and have used the threat of public disclosure of that to secure FAVORABLE RULINGS from him and those on the court over whom he has some influence. The first such was their ludicrous ruling that Obamacare penalties were a TAX. And the second occurred earlier, when the court TOTALLY IGNORED THE LANGUAGE OF THE ACA to rule as it did. That tortured ruling has caused numerous legal commentators — Judge Napolitano among them — to opine that words no longer have meanings.
While his brutal murder of the supreme organic law of America goes unnoticed by the leftist (aka “COMMUNIST”) media, how unseemly would it be to have the CJ of the SCOTUS known as a common scofflaw?
I guess everyone has a price.

Or maybe the other way around. In any case, Roberts has no principles and even less respect for the Constitution. He is corrupt and totally unprincipled, and we need to find out what they have on him so we can expose it and render it (and him) useless.

Roberts decision makes him out to be an idiot who shouldn’t have been passed on to 5th Grade.

“Roberts did not cast the deciding vote on ObamaCare - it was a 6-3 decision.

Roberts was, however, the swing vote in the 5-4 decision in 2012 to uphold Obamacare in the original challenge to the law. He could have struck it down then, but chose not to. Therefore, he is directly responsible for this case having had to come up at all.

That’s why they didn’t blackmail him on the gay marriage thing. Didn’t need to.
