Six are the Chief, Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan.

Gay 'marriage' next? A one-two punch in the gut.
No more decisions today.
Yup.
Let us also not be surprised when the SCOTUS rules on marriage.
We cannot depend on the SCOTUS to overturn bad legislation.
Elections matter.
No. Then he would have ruled differently on cases like Citizens United. When it comes to Obamacare, Roberts is being compelled to rule as he does. On Obamacare, Obama owns Roberts.
Republicans are relieved.
Suckas!
Gruber wins—the SCOTUS makes law by changing the text of the law from what was written. Fools.

I can already hear the collective sigh of relief from the Republican cloakroom, because this now relieves them of having to do anything.
Check$ and Balance$
The Proper Function of the Law
And, in all sincerity, can anything more than the absence of plunder be required of the law? Can the law — which necessarily requires the use of force — rationally be used for anything except protecting the rights of everyone? I defy anyone to extend it beyond this purpose without perverting it and, consequently, turning might against right. This is the most fatal and most illogical social perversion that can possibly be imagined.
Law Is a Negative Concept
But when the law, by means of its necessary agent, force, imposes upon men a regulation of labor, a method or a subject of education, a religious faith or creed — then the law is no longer negative; it acts positively upon people. It substitutes the will of the legislator for their own wills; the initiative of the legislator for their own initiatives. When this happens, the people no longer need to discuss, to compare, to plan ahead; the law does all this for them. Intelligence becomes a useless prop for the people; they cease to be men; they lose their personality, their liberty, their property.
Try to imagine a regulation of labor imposed by force that is not a violation of liberty; a transfer of wealth imposed by force that is not a violation of property. If you cannot reconcile these contradictions, then you must conclude that the law cannot organize labor and industry without organizing injustice.
Socialism Is Legal Plunder
Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.

How did Benedict Roberts justify his initial ruling? He didn’t have to. He is the supreme power in the land. All he has to do is pull law out of his butt.
If SCOTUS was bound by ACTUAL LAW, Obamacare would have been overruled on the face of it. Benedict Roberts created law out of whole cloth in upholding Obamacare. Why would you think he would suddenly change for this ruling? He and the other 5 Injustices are just creating law from the bench.

I am positive Roberts is now in Obama’s back pocket. No doubt in my mind gay marriage is also going to be upheld.
W knew what was in his background. If he didn’t then he needs to be erased from history along with the Dixie flag.

Hospital and insurance stocks surging...
Wow! Who didn’t see THIS coming? The elites are making a killing (literally and figuratively) on this decision. The payouts for elites continues! Now, all of their *expanded resources* programs (that We the Taxpayer fund), can continue. Woo hoo.

Roberts has been compromised from the start. There was a reason he met no resistance from the Democrats. Expect the worst from here on out.
SCOTUSCARE!
