Scary for those of naïve enough to actually believe the Supreme Court was different and actually decided cases based on the Constitution. Supreme Court Justices apparently wheel, deal, and horse trade more than your average Senator.

Apparently Roberts wanted some kind of precedent weakening the reach of the commerce clause so he "traded" support for the individual mandate in exchange for getting the liberals to say it was a tax not a fee and striking down the mandatory medicare expansion.

I guess the only good news is the individual mandate was repealed anyway in the Tax Bill last year, so it's gone anyway, if six years late.

It is actually surprising to me what was revealed in this article, and I am quite cynical.

Now bow down and be "thankful".
