Just as I trust in God's will for my life, I will trust that for whatever reason, Roberts made a convoluted decision because he knew another matter needed attention and would need this sacrificial pawn to achieve it.

John Roberts is not God and does not deserve the sort of faith you place in God. This talk about Roberts playing chess against checker players overlooks the simple fact that no one else is playing games of any sort - Roberts apparently did not establish any new precedent limiting the reach of the Commerce Clause and even if he had, it was not worth the devastation his decision has caused by legitimizing the ability of the federal government to command citizens to do anything at all or face a tax.

Roberts reportedly abandoned his own views under political and media pressure. He was rolled, and has given liberals good reason to believe they can roll him again through the decades he will serve. This was not a "pawn", and there is no "queen" out there that can make this disaster acceptable.

Go read the judges decisions in the Bible. It's not Roberts that I've placed my faith in but, have faith that in his decision he too looked at how judges in the Bible made their decision. He was asked to divide the baby, divide the county....He turned it back to the mothers, the people. Have you ever thought that there would be no death and resurrection if the Judge said...”Jesus you may go free, they've got nothing against you”.

Those yelling for Roberts skin are no different then the mobs of yore.
