Why Roberts did it
By Charles Krauthammer
June 28, 2012
It’s the judiciary’s Nixon-to-China: Chief Justice John Roberts joins the liberal wing of the Supreme Court and upholds the constitutionality of Obamacare. How? By pulling off one of the great constitutional finesses of all time.
He managed to uphold the central conservative argument against Obamacare, while at the same time finding a narrow definitional dodge to uphold the law — and thus prevented the court from being seen as having overturned, presumably on political grounds, the signature legislation of this administration.

Yup, you nailed CK on this one.
Traitor John Roberts did NOT do what Krauthammer wrote.
Traitor John showed Obama that all yuh gotta do is re-write any Federal Law, and Traitor John will back up Obama, every time!
When Traitor John illegally rewrote Obamacare by crossing out the word “fine” and substituting the word “tax,” both men know that weak, cowardly, crybaby Speaker Boehner would to nothing to oppose the new Roberts-Obama “Law of the Land.”
Roberts and Obama were right and Krauthammer was wrong.
