It clearly doesn’t save the image of the court to people like you and me, it does just the opposite. Roberts was likely thinking of the general public and how they would have been bombarded with “the scotus is political and illegitimate” by the msm and the usurper had he rejected the whole bill.
And this is why the bastards enjoy the luxury of life time appointments... so that they are above criticism and can always do the right thing with blind justice. Thus the designation Supreme Court. They answer only to the law and the Constitution. At least they are supposed to. It sure looks like Roberts answers to something else.
