As I recall, the gist of Robert’s argument in his first Obamacare Ruling was that it was not his job to to determine what the legislature could - or could not pass.
In essence his argument seemed to be: “if congress wants to pass bad laws, who am I to stop them. They must learn to deal with the consequences of their actions (but I will make them face that a tax has to be called a tax)”.
With this ruling he has pretty much abandoned his reasoning from the first ruling by declaring that he simply can not let congress fail in their intent. IOW, if they create bad law, but have good intentions, he’ll make sure the law is crafted correctly.
Apparently congress is unable to function without a “Nanny SCOTUS”.

This is exactly what I’ve been saying for awhile now- the left, and all those creeps who support them, like Roberts, no longer even care if they are caught in hypocrisy- no longer care if they are caught in lies- they KNOW that NOONE will do a damn thing about it-
It used to be that the left at least tried to disguise and hide their evil deeds- but no longer! They now view ‘getting caught’ as a badge of honor when they REFUSE to apologize, or rescind, or correct whatever it is that they were caught at-
The moral compass I nthis ocutnry has been smashed to pieces- and now the bible’s prophecies that men will love the darkness and hate the light is coming true- LIES are the new ‘truth’ now- and anyone that tries to defend actual truth and justice are vilified, ostracized and bullied into compliance
