No Roberts punted the ball to the Nov election. The law is unconstitional, but if he would have agreed the MSM would have beat the drum from now til the election. We took one argument away from the Dems and I expect it to bring out more conservatives to vote in Nov then if Obamacare was struck down.

That should be none of their concern, their job is to interpret the law, not worry about elections.

With all due respect, thats like cutting off your hands so your teacher can't rap your knuckles.

Well then, if Congress every bans the Bible, I hope SCOTUS doesn't take the matter up in an election year!

I agree 100% that the law is unconstitutional. I'll bet Chief Justice Roberts does, too. The question here is whether it was constitutional on the basis of the legal arguments that were brought in this particular case.

I'm not sure he got this wrong, and I suspect there will be plenty of other cases (the First Amendment challenges being brought by religious groups, for example, which are being adjudicated in the Federal courts separately) where ObamaCare will be overturned on different grounds.
