Roberts voted in favor of Heller and Heller held that gun bans in areas controlled by the feds are unconstitutional. Heller further held that individuals have a 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms. How on God’s green earth do those rulings expand the power of the federal gov’t?
It is exactly because of decisions like Heller that I desperately want to give Roberts the benefit of the doubt.
My favorite explanation is that Roberts, by forcing the ACA to fall under the definition of a tax is using legal jujitsu against it proponents.
