Roberts could have (and should have) nipped this thing in the bud. Well, almost. Instead, we now have this mess to deal with.

I do not buy all the lawyers (real or imagined) here on FR who claim Roberts "...did the right thing." Tax? Penalty? Little matters. We got screwed and Roberts screwed us without first giving us a reach-around...

There appears to be a concerted media effort to provide cover for his cracked ruling.

His only responsibility was to judge the bill on its constitutional merits.

Since the emperor has no clothes in regard to Roberts' abdication of duty in that regard, there is a concerted effort to imbue his ruling with some other logical basis or clever political calculation.

Unfortunately for him, most people can see right through it.
