Robert`s opinion on the Commerce Clause was his and his ONLY !
The other judicial activists saw no problem with the Commerce Clause whereas the Originalists did NOT join Roberts in his opinion regarding the clause.
Commerce Clause REMAINS in full effect in width and breadth ( tough luck Krauthammer, Will and all other you pinheads looking for the silver lining)
AND
Roberts expanded the power of Govt. beyond all recognition.
USA RIP
I have to post and run and I haven’t read through all the posts on this thread yet but, if he was threatened he had no need to try and “twist arms” later as the article reports he did.
He had the four liberals who went along with him.
If someone was threatening you wouldn’t you do the bear minimum?
Ex.
“Ok, Mr. Person Threatening me,
I’ll vote in favor of Obamacare with the four other liberals. It will pass but I’m too embarrassed to say or no one will believe the “commerce clause” excuse so I will make up the “it’s a tax excuse” for cover.
Fine. Done. End of story.
Months later, why would he be trying to sell it to Kennedy? When that failed, he tried to sell it to the other three conservatives. Why go the extra mile?
When paying a ransom note does the victim say:
“In addition to the ransom money, I’ve got some stocks and bonds in the safe upstairs you might be interested. Hey, take my car too.”
I think I read somewhere that they were digging into the kids he adopted.

Very few individuals have had the opportunity to stand in the breach....with such an opportunity to defend FREEDOM.
John Roberts failed miserably. Failed his country, his countrymen ,and God himself. About that paid vacation on Malta he’s off to....he ought a seriously consider not returning.
bump for later fuming
Bought off, threatened, honest change of opinion,,,we will never know. Speculation is useless and will only drive people nuts. The fact is we are forever stuck with obamacare. Republicans have been vowing to overturn Roe vs Wade for almost 40 years. It’s just talk. Never going to happen. Same with obamacare. All the conservatives in Congress and the media grabbing their junk and loudly bragging about overturning obamacare is nothing but hot air.
Wake me up when the free people of this Nation are ready to secede.
I thought Kim Wong Ark was one of the worst SCOTUS cases..but I think this Health Care opinion may be right in the top 5.
**Roberts Switched Views to Uphold Health Care Law**
No, I don’t believe that’s the reason he did it.
In the end, Roberts decided that he didn’t want to Fosterized.
Roberts may envision himself as the second coming of John Marshall, but if this report is true, he’ll go down as one of the biggest cowards in history.
Did Dictator Obama use “The Bully Pulpit” to intimidate the weakest member of the SCOTUS, and therefore unfairly Nationalize the Medical and Insurance Industries?
Is “Weak-Knees” Traitor John Roberts building a State-Of-The-Art epileptic clinic and personal retirement home in Kenya?
Will Dictator Obama need to continue his brutal fund-raising schedule now that Chief Justice John Roberts has been paid off?
Threats are all part of the Zero liberal fascist regime. I don’t care if he was blackmailed, etc... he joined the other court jesters and broke his oath to the Constitution. A five old could see this. All of a sudden we pay fines for not engaging in a mandated behavior? Oh, suddenly this is okay because a few court jesters ruled it so? Yeah right. It’s against everything America stands for. It’s our duty as free citizens to ignore this edict and it will be. Civil disobedience, unrest, and armed resistance is coming. It is now guaranteed.
cowardice takes many forms. This one being the most craven.
