A+++ what to make of Roberts reported switching of sides, supposedly capitulating to the media and leftwing pressure, and p!$$ing Big Tone off in the process?
I wonder if his going 5/4 the other way, bought 7/2 on the other issue, I agree with Krauthammer and Brit Hume, who called the decision more institutional, than Constitutional.
Striking the ACA would have been a pyrric victory, when the left went apeshit over the court, before an election, rather than after it....
It’s not possible to look at all the facts, the language,and exigent situations, and not see a very sly, very calculated play.
Charles Lane nearly fellated him on FNS yesterday.
OMG....I cannot believe I overlooked this.
Use Occams Razor.
As Krauthammer and Hume pointed out, this was more of an institutional decision, than a Constitutional decision, so by having....Kennedy?!?!?!? as the stalwart, riding him for a month , does this not also help rehabilitate respect for Kennedy on the right, much like the decision does with the left?
There are NEVER leaks like this on these kinds of decisions.
That story would only be plausible In Real Life, if Scalia was the one doing the hectoring.
