A day after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts sided squarely with the Obama administration on the health care overhaul, the same jurist came out swinging against the court´s ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. In his dissenting opinion -- which he read from the bench for the first time in his nearly 10 years as chief justice -- Roberts charged Friday that the court had no right to intervene in what should be a democratic debate by the people, at the state level, over same-sex marriage.

I have heard and read much discussion on John Roberts. His ruling on Obama Care verses Gay Marriage is schizophrenic at best. I think he is compromised for reasons we do not know.
