” - - - The book confirms previous reports that Roberts changed his vote in the landmark case over President Obama’s healthcare law after initially siding with the conservative justices. But Toobin reports — as others have implied — that what pushed Roberts away was the conservative justices’ insistence on striking down the entire health law.”
And that is why Traitor John Roberts will be known as the Traitor who destroyed America. DUH!
The first statement, that Roberts changed his vote late in the process has been well documented and can be assumed to be true.
The second statement makes no sense whatsoever and can only be a lie. No intelligent or logical person could possibly believe that the health care law could be intelligently divided up into what was constitutional and what was not. The law was extremely vague and intertwined and someone as intelligent as Roberts had to know that there was no rational way to declare part of the law constitutional and part unconstitutional. Obama’s own lawyers as much as admitted this.
It is irrational that Roberts could possibly be persuaded by the sophistry of the now it's a tax, now it's not a tax wording in his decision. Scalia easily showed the many flaws and irrationality of this approach.
Toobin is a liar. That is the only logical explanation for the content of this book.
