I am now convinced that the Obama admin has something on Roberts and has been blackmailed. His left turn at about the time of ACA ruling otherwise is without explanation.
I was convinced of that since the ACA ruling. If I recall, Roberts read his full opinion from the bench and spectators described him as red-eyed and exhausted. The dissents were written in the tenor of majority opinions and vice versa, suggesting a last-minute reversal by Roberts with no time for the rest to revise their opinions to reflect that.
It is the Chicago way, I'm told.

I seem to remember the minority in ACA being angry, because they thought they had turned the mandate down, and Roberts changed his mind at the last minute.
Is that just a figment of my imagination, or am I remembering that correctly?

I have offered what I regard as a fairly reasonable explanation as to why Roberts has been protecting Obama's efforts.
I would like you to consider this idea before you accept that Robert's is the victim of some sort of blackmail.
