The Left has been successful in intimidating Roberts to vote against most of the Arizona law, so they feel confident that they can intimidate him on the Obamacare law...

“The Left has been successful in intimidating Roberts to vote against most of the Arizona law, so they feel confident that they can intimidate him on the Obamacare law...”

This may be true. If so, I hope they’re unsuccessful. It’s a sad commentary on our judicial system that we’re even suggesting that they are able to be intimidated.

Most of the Arizona law was accepted without comment. The only thing at issue were the injunctions against four points. The Court said "no" on three of them, but said "yes" on the one where the state required cops to check status if..... variety of reasons.....

I think the illegals know what this means even if Obama has no clue.

How did they intimidate him?

Had Roberts voted against it, it would have ended 4-4, thus upholding the 9th circuits decesion. So Roberts’ vote did not matter. Why Roberts voted with the majority was to assign the Per Curiam opinion, thus shaping it, to Kennedy.
