The ruling took me by surprise. It was hilarious when Roberts announced that the individual mandate was unconstitutional. All of the right wingers started furiously Tweeting their victory. CNN and Fox News started reporting the good news on the air. That was before Roberts said, but the mandate is actually a tax and that is constitutional. I here that all the celebrating Fox News talking heads faces turned ashen when they found out the ACA was ruled constitutional.

EXTRA! EXTRA! DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN

Before everyone starts calling Obama a liar, like they did on the right wing talk shows, Just remember that the Solicitor General argued the tax angle before the SC. For being such a bumbling idiot the SG sure got a couple of big wins for Obama this week.

One has to wonder why Roberts sided with the majority in this case. Kennedy was the suspected swing vote one way or the other.

Appropriate legal interpretation?

Citizens United? Roberts has no problem twisting the law to fit what he wants. I think it has more to do with the Roberts Court legacy.

Roberts did not want the stink of the Tea Party to contaminate the stature of the Court. He may have saved the GOP in the long run also. Maybe he thought about the people he would have taken medical care from if he struck it down and did the right thing by declaring it valid.

If we're throwing out conspiracies, one might say that Roberts used the taxing authority as a reason to hold up the Act, intending to give the GOP ammunition for the campaign. I notice that the taxation aspect of the case showed up early today from one of this board's more reliable repeaters of GOP talking points.
