I have long thought that Roberts was giving the Democrats the rope to hang themselves. Too many of his other decisions were right down the Constitutional line.

I don't know if Roberts was intentionally trying to destroy the democrats. But his words at the time certainly sound prophetic...

“Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.”
