Speaking of glee...
Probably not blackmail. I suspect Roberts does this willingly and rather gleefully.
‘Probably not blackmail. I suspect Roberts does this willingly and rather gleefully.’
I think it’s willing but not gleeful. Word was that he had originally decided against Obamacare in the big case that failed, and midway through changed his mind. The conservatives were furious. It likely happened because he is weak, and just cannot stand the press piling on him in its most vicious and brutal manner. So, to be the press darling, he changed his decision and voted their way.
Jmho.
