Then Roberts was too clever by half. This was no time to try to be a “thinking man’s” chief justice. Indeed this was a time for him to do his job and he failed miserably.
There is no doubt(in my mind at least) the lib criticisms of his potential ACA reversal and President Obama’s tirade at him during the SOU after the Citizens United decision must have had a lot of effect on Roberts. This indictments to me and many others he is a coward. The fact that Kennedy wanted to get rid of the ACA altogether only only reinforces this view.
Sorry, I meant “indicates”.
