Roberts crossed out the word “penalty” that appears in the law 15 times (and if it’s a penalty, it’s not a tax, as decades of court precedent establish) and rewrote “tax”.

He rewrote the law. That is judicial activism. Judges interpret, not rewrite, laws.

He is a total traitor and no conservative. This is lipstick on pig stuff and, as an attorney who studies constitutional law, I believe this article is nonsense.

BINGO! It was unconstitutional as was, and Roberts with his magic pen suddenly made it constitutional. THAT IS NOT HIS JOB!!!!
