Roberts really turned himself into a pretzel to come up with that first Obamacare ruling. I believe Thomas is from Georgia that will play well in South Carolina.
The second is even worse. He ignored the clear language of the statute, even in light of statements from the main architect of the statute that the clear language is what Congress intended. I cut Roberts a little slack on the first one, but the second is unforgivable not only because it allowed Obamacare to survive, but because it sets a horrible precedent. Roberts has clearly been compromised.
