**the ruling, which he found upheld individual liberty and curbed federal power even as it left the law in place.**

BTTT — the truth is starting to come out. I saw it right away.

Since when is instituting/allowing a head tax which has not been enumerated under the Constitution (And never should unless two thirds of Congress/States, or 3/4 of State Legislatures to ratify, allow it) upholding individual liberty and curbing Federal power?

If Roberts wanted to uphold individual liberty and curb Federal power he would of ruled with Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito who actually did.

What Roberts did was activism in the form of switching the penalty found unconstitutional (With Breyer and Kagan agreeing) under the commerce clause with a simple head/negative tax. I don't get why people are ignorant about the precedent Roberts set. For goodness sake, he was joined by Ginsburg, Sotomayer, Breyer, and Kagan in this respect.
