Five days after the SCOTUS decision on Obamacare was handed down,
tv pundits are spending more time on Chief Justice Roberts' decision than any other aspect.
But, there were 4 other Justices that voted to support Obamacare.
Robert's 1 vote did not carry any more weight than the other four.
The subsummed "hot topic" is, why Roberts voted with the "liberals".
Some pundits are saying that Roberts voted in favor, just
to protect the "public's perception of the Supreme Court".
That is, to show that Bush v. Gore, and Citizens United were not political decisions.
If you believe that, wait while I look for a bill-of-sale for this neat bridge in New York.
Ummmm... To cast a vote to protect the PR of the Court.
...can you think of anything worse you could be said about a Justice ?
That's like the "tail wagging the dog" accusations of a President.
Why isn't it the question about Kennedy's vote with the Conservatives ?
...maybe he got his nose out of joint during Obama's comments
about the "Citizens United decision" during the State of Union address.
There's also pundits talking about Scalia's behavior before the decision,
but that's just normal for Scalia when his view does not prevail.
