I’m starting to think that maybe we should be thankful for the Roberts ruling. Think about where we might be today if he ruled the other way and the law was shut down.

The press and Dems would be blaming the downfall of Obamacare on a conservative judge and that the country is being deprived of what would have been a magnificent reform on the healthcare system.

Dems would be poised to take back the House in 2014. Harry Reid could use the nuclear option for all Senate business. Hillary would be a lock for 2016.

Maybe Roberts did us a favor.

People were saying he did a us a favor for 2012. It didn't work out that way.

No, because the mandate is unconstitutional. A Supreme Court Justice is not supposed to be a super-legislator.

I've always wondered that myself. I would like to believe so, but no human is wise enough to can plan the cascade of events and consequences as they play out months and years in the future.
