One has to wonder why Roberts sided with the majority in this case. Kennedy was the suspected swing vote one way or the other.
From Robert's perspective it was the only option to maintain the reputation of the court. The decision did several things, but primarily insulated the Robert's Court from the assertion of being partisan. The decision was completely in character for John Roberts and I applaud him for sticking to his legal philosophy. There is a lot of nice subtle stuff in the decision and I find it an interesting read. I'm waiting for D-ray's perspective wrt the seminar he's attending.
