It is not his job to appear impartial or to baby the Supreme Court's image and avoid an appearance of overreach or any other PR accusations. He took a solemn oath to impartially discharge his duties under the Constitution. ObamaCare is illegitimate, unconstitutional, and being implemented in violation of the law as written. Roberts and any of the other nine who have any integrity at all are morally obligated to rule in accordance with the law and with the Constitution.
...of course the other option is to actually FIX the law legislatively.
All the president and the Democrats have to do is convince Congress to pass a narrow bill to do just that.
LOL.
Thus far Roberts has failed to address the rumor that he was blackmailed by obammy to get the ruling on obammy care.
Seems his adoption of foreign kids was done illegally.
We can only hope that the four-star cluster f**k that is ObamaCare is put to rest - it’s sending doctors out of business and screwing up what was once the best health care system in the world.
Abother Obama mess.
The supremes should have shut down obamacare because it NEVER PASSED the house in its final form..........
WaPo working on Roberts already.
I have no faith whatsoever in Benedict Roberts.
I personally don’t care if Obamacare stays or goes....just don’t force me to buy it and dont tax or penalize me for it.
When the black-robed elites ruled Obamacare was a tax, they should have also ruled it unconstitutional as it did not originate in the House of Representatives
I am sick of all the establishment folks trying to put lipstick on John Roberts’ totalitarian destruction of liberty. The judicial branch does not “respect” the legislative branch by covering up for its abuses by rewriting legislation to give it a false semblance of legitimacy.
“...based on constitutional considerations: the long-standing principle that the court, if possible, should avoid overturning the work of a co-equal branch of government...”

...but allow an agency of the executive branch (i.e., the IRS using its regulatory regime) to change, however and whenever it suits the Regime’s purposes, laws as they were when passed by Congress and signed by the President?
The Republic and our Constitution are rapidly being eroded by progressive statists.
They will if they know what’s good for em.
