Maybe Justice Roberts is playing chess, and everybody else is playing checkers. If Obama gets re-elected he could appoint as many as 3 more Supreme Court Justices, which would totally devastate the court for years to come. By doing what he did, two thirds of the voters who are opposed to Obamacare will be energized for the November election, thus virtually guaranteeing Obama’s defeat. Roberts may have put the final nail in the coffin for Obama’s re-election chances.
I certainly like the sound of that, for more reason than one.
I was really disappointed in Roberts today, as I think quite a lot of him in general (despite the disastrous immigration ruling...) - and I had the expectation that he would torch Obamacare today.
But if he helps win the war, this battle won’t matter.
“Maybe Justice Roberts is playing chess, and everybody else is playing checkers.”
More like tic-tac-toe. And he just blew a chance to draw the game.
More like Roberts is playing tiddly-winks.
He's playing jack and balls.
