In other words: Roberts decision is a steaming pile of offal.

Right, Roberts will be there for a long time!
At first Roberts looked great. I had high hopes for him and I know I wasn't alone. I don't know how Justices can be chosen with any good probability that they will rule decently. George W. Bush did not intend anything like this. Earl Warren was an Eisenhower appointee. Warren was one of Ike's regrets and on and on with other Presidents.
Whatever guilt or needs driving them are going to come out once they get that appointment. Roberts wants to be popular and appear Statesmanlike. I do not think he made any friends yesterday. He lost the Conservatives and the liberals though they write glowing praise must hold him in private contempt for having no character.

Robert may be a genius. Now, because of him, Obama is defeated, the GOP holds the House and take the Senate. Then they repeal Obamacare.
What’s not to like?
To: Kaslin
If you can wrap your mind around the fact that the entire bill was never going to be invalidated by the SC then Robert's actions become a little more comprehensible.

Roberts thinks he is too clever and the great splitter of the difference - a man more noble than most. I agree with Scalia, that it is mere verbal wizardry - so much so that words cease to mean anything. Someone either got to Roberts and blackmailed him or he is an arrogant SOB.

Goldberg got some of his terms a bit mixed up. The priests were "augurs"--"augury" (augurium was what they did (observation and interpretation of omens). Latin auspicium, from which we get "auspices," meant divination by means of birds. A haruspex was an expert on interpretation of entrails (haruspicina was the "art of inspecting entrails").

Guts??
It does not to take “guts” to give away your honor and integrity.... it takes free will. Once given, integrity and honor can never be reclaimed.
No, I didn’t read the article.... any excuse for what Roberts did is unacceptable.
