When Chief Justice Roberts voted in Obamacare in 2012 I wrote that:
[T]he only way to make liberals accept a repeal of ObamaCare is by the brute force of political power, the mandate of the voters expressed at the ballot box.
Now Roberts has pushed aside the little matter of the Obamis' deliberate attempt to intimidate states into building their own health care exchanges in King v. Burwell. Justice Kennedy has rubber-stamped gay marriage, and hey, what's the matter with a little disparate impact among friends?
What is going on here? It's all explained in Angelo Codevilla's 2010 American Spectator epic, “America's Ruling Class – and the Perils of Revolution.” The money quote is (in reference to little Timmy Geithner):
Hence whether formally in government, out of it, or halfway, America's ruling class speaks the language and has the tastes, habits, and tools of bureaucrats.
As in programs and regulations and policy analysis.
The culture of bureaucracy began in America with the rise of the Progressives in the late 19th century as they determined to bring America out of its embarrassing spoils-system Dark Age with rationalism and expertise. First they built a culture that worshiped at the altar of the rational educated expert. They remade politics and government in its image.
That's the reason for Chief Justice Roberts' capitulation. It's Breitbart's First Law: Politics is downstream from culture. We can't roll back the administrative welfare state with a stroke of the legal pen because we haven't won the battle for the culture.
Oh sure, we want to maintain a conservative majority on the court to stop the lefty mind-numbed robots from rubber stamping every stupid liberal idea

The leftists probably have to go too far before the sleeping masses finally get mad, so rope-a-dope is the current strategy. But how far is that? It could get very bad before the next revolution/civil-war becomes inevitable.
You are right in saying not Roberts problem. It is ours. Time is getting close to lock and load and clean house.
The left has near total control of the media, education, and pop culture. For all the bitching about Bill O’Reilly that goes on here, he is one of the very few using his bully pulpit to confront secularism, and writing books that tell true history, not propaganda.
Unless more like him rise up (and I don’t mean only in public office), this battle will continue to be won by the left. There will be no revolt unless the right becomes as powerful as the left has become, and realizes the truth of Codevilla’s brilliant essay: that it is the people vs. the elite ruling class.
It is ours, but the “justices” violated their oath and must be held accountable. The constitution only works if it is followed.
The offices have no meaning if they no longer define the boundaries of the people who hold them.

I disagree because the sleeping masses are the Libtards. Let ‘em sleep. They didn’t bother to vote last election which at least bought us some time.
Giving Roberts too much credit is senseless. He is an owned man. When the oligarchy needs a particular ruling they have his chain well in hand. They own the people doing Kennedy’s work, too, because the old fool is too senile to sit the bench but remains a useful tool.
If the Constitution isn’t being followed, then why bother calling them Justices, Congressmen, and Presidents anymore?
*****************
With them its not about the Constitution or liberty or justice. Its one big cabal and its all about power.
Lincoln was wrong. You CAN fool most of the people most of the time.
If the far right ever gains control of the government, watch the liberals resurrect the Constitution. They will then quote it word and verse to protect themselves.
The only parts of the Constitution being upheld are those of titles and number; President, two Senators from each state, etc.
Every other word and phrase is just a blank slate for the courts.
