As legal scholars study the Supreme Court's decision in the Obamacare case, more and more are concluding that Justice Anthony Kennedy's dissenting opinion, striking down the law in its entirety, was once the majority opinion--and that Chief Justice John Roberts switched his vote at a late stage. If so, it would appear that the Chief Justice may have succumbed to the bullying meted out by President Barack Obama, who attacked the Court in the aftermath of oral arguments in March, when Obamacare seemed headed for certain defeat.

The power of the President to use customary bullying from the bully pulpit is pretty weak. Even the mainstream media have no real impact on the justices.
BUT the Obamabastard MAY have suggested very strongly that he would attempt to PACK the SCOTUS a la FDR if they didn’t capitulate on this one issue.
In the event that did occur, the Justice effected by this threat has more to be ashamed of than the person threatening him.
When the Executive bullies the Judiciary, you third world government - and Barck Hussein Obama is ALL about third world government.
Imposing it HERE and bringing the third world to America.
Of course he is a coward....the only question was he threatened ?
I think you are on to something about Roberts, he’s no coward and this decision may actually result in focusing the effort to stop GovCare to the right place the POTUS Election.
Sure appears to have aroused the electorate!
Roberts is either a flaming, closeted commie lib or a coward. The Supreme Court is Barry’s Court now. Just another tentacle of the Obama regime.
Your thinking is very sound. Could be right on target.
Now, to take the whole thing and shred it into little bity pieces ~ and, BTW, use this opportunity to pass a TAX ON DEMOCRATS.
Make them pay. They OWE us!
Roberts was clearly more concerned with being the toast of the Washington D.C. liberal social scene than in defending the constitution he swore to protect.

Make them pay. They OWE us!
In the meantime, I pray for our Country's sake that this will galvanize us in November. To rid ourselves of this socialist program, we must first rid ourselves of the socialist would-be dictator that forced it upon us - Baraq Hussein mohammed 0bama. If he is allowed to remain in power, then it will be fully implemented and we will become The United Socialist States of Amerika.
Now we need a capable candidate ~
His family has just been returned to him unharmed.
I have lost respect for Roberts and the court, they IMHO are just as corrupt as the rest of Washington and the media.
Behold the New World Order, funded on the backs of conservatives everywhere.
The majority of his rulings and side has been w/ liberals. Although not having the power to order a recusal, I don’t believe he once mentioned Kagan’s conflict of interest. He is a product of the GOP-E (maybe others to be sure). I’m sure this list can be added to...but from this alone...
He took the mask off revealing a progressive.
May he live a cursed life.
Would not surprise me, the CJ has children and got scared for them.
” I seriously doubt that Roberts was bullied by Obama. I think Roberts was angry as were other justices in this getting dumped on them. “
If this is true, he is just an A-HOLE !!!!
The spirit of stealthy Souter lives on! (The Weasel)
