I heard it said in various speculative circles that Roberts thought he was being 'cute' by switching his vote, smacking down overuse of the commerce clause, tossing an unexploded grenade in the laps of the Democrats, and hurting Obama in November.

If ANY of this is true, how dare he. How dare he abdicate his responsibility and try to play politics.

The ramifications of this decision fundamentally changes America, and actually makes us less free than the former Soviet Union. At no point in their history did they force a purchase of anything.

I had Fox on this morning and they were tossing around the various explanations/justifications for why he did what he did. You’re 100% right, Laz...none of it matters because his responsibility was to uphold the Constitution and he DITCHED THAT.

Wasn't the whole purpose of lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court to wall the justices off from political pressure?

I've always thought the concept was a utopian fiction and Roberts' odious decision proves it.
