I am reading through the decision now. Here is a remarkable quote from the decision (page 6)

“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.”

"It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.”

He's quite correct, of course. We are now about to reap what's been sown for the last 60 years. The whirlwind will be swift and terrible.

to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.

The people reversed their "choice" in 2010 by taking the House and giving it to the Republicans. Obamacare could not pass in the House again. So, the people DID use the political process to reverse this as best they could, and I think Roberts should have considered that.
