I’m not as down on Roberts over that ruling as most Freepers are. For one thing, the ObamaCare penalty IS a tax. It’s administered by the IRS and paid when you file your tax return. What else would it be?

Secondly, Roberts was right on target in one of his public comments after the ruling: It’s not the job of the U.S. Supreme Court to fix a stupid law. That’s the job of Congress.

He wasn't "right on" in any way shape or form. He could have ended it, but didn't.

It was unconstitutional because it mandated we buy insurance. Period.

That was the argument of all the other conservative judges, and that of Roberts until the last minute. His change of mind was far from brilliant, it was a tortured legal opinion, one of the most awful in memory.
