The chief justice of SCOTUS writes an opinion that has all the coherence of drool, and the only lasting effect of the opinion is keeping ObamaCare alive. This Roberts does despite the scathing dissent of his peers.
We know Obama has ridiculed Roberts and the entire court in SOTU addresses, and more recently with veiled threats on TV. Roberts caved. It never should have happened, but it did.
Michael Savage has pointed out that Roberts is on anti-seizure medication, and these medications are known to have negative effects on cognitive ability. I suppose political correctness prevented this from becoming an issue during Robert's appointment. Too bad. It should have been a big red flag.
Obama people actually have access to him after the hearing -- another idiocy, and highly suspect ethics -- and convince Roberts that he and the country will suffer (more threats) if a 5-4 decision comes down. (Oh no! Not another Bush v. Gore! "You will be a pariah, and your court will be viewed with distain.")
And Roberts becomes a completely ineffectual dupe.
Who rules America?
It's been a coup since Roberts "flubbed" the swearing in of a man who to this day has not demonstrably qualified for office, and then supposedly re-administered the oath later, behind closed doors.
It may have been largely bloodless (so far), but a coup has absolutely taken place, IMHO.
