Kennedy has sided with the conservatives far more often than he is given credit for. On the other hand, Roberts has quite plainly indicated he has no intention of finding and bill passed by the Federal government unconstitutional in its entirety.

Way back in April, I predicted to my brother in law that Kennedy would not be the problem and that if there was any concern it was what Roberts would do.

You probably know more about it than I do.

Like I said, I don't have any evidence or any real knowledge of the personalities involved in this specific case, just a gut feeling.

When things get leaked to the press, I tend not to believe the story that somebody got angry or indignant and suspect that somebody is trying to advance an agenda, to create a spin, or to deceive the public.

That just seems truer to my experience of leaking. It's more the cold-blooded and devious who leak than the righteously angry people who have actually been offended. In my experience, the latter tend to stew in their own juices.

Time will tell, I guess.
