I'm beginning to see Chief Justice Roberts wisdom in deciding that Obamacare was a legitimately processed law, however bad it might be.
The Supreme Court has one job: to interpret and apply the US Constitution properly. Playing Machiavellian politics with legal precedents is definitely NOT the job of the Supreme Court. Even if I believed that Roberts had enough balls and brains (I don't) to implement some anti-ObamaCare strategy using judicial review, I'd still be pissed BECAUSE THAT ISN'T HIS JOB. It would be, in fact, a dereliction of his sworn duty.
Now, if some positive elements are gained from the ridiculous Supreme Court decision and the implementation of Obamacare, then great, but Roberts was and still is either an idiot or a traitor.

From Wikipedia, we have ...
"Machiavellianism", is a widely used negative term to characterize unscrupulous politicians of the sort Machiavelli described in The Prince.
Please note that Chief Justice Roberts is not a politician.
