My father thinks Roberts did it because he doesn't want to be remembered in history books years from now as the killer of health care reform. It makes sense to me too.

My bet is that far future historians will regard Roberts unfavorably, to the same extent that Chamberlain is viewed in retrospect and for some even Benedict Arnold.

IN a Court that typically votes on partisan lines...whoever "decides" the case (not Kennedy this time) gets to be the critical 5th vote.

My point is why wasn't Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, or Kagan the 5th vote? Did the others somehow vote "before" Roberts? Is there a roll call vote? Why wasn't Ginsburg's the 5th vote?

I thought I just answered that.

If the earlier votes, due to the partisan divide in the court, are essentially taken for granted, the swing votes are the ones needed for 5, hence, the 5th vote. It's a tally consideration, not a chronological series of Ayes and Nays.

Is it a coincidence that the lunatic fringe believes that one day bush jr.........will be regarded favorably?

The chimp may well end up looking good next to Romney, put it that way.

I hope not.
Even a PM with as little backbone, testicular fortitude and intestines as Cameron won't be able to brown nose that fuckwit with a straight face, will he? Even Milliband may not be up to the job...

I think Roberts is being paid by Mitt to take the heat of his utter lack of competence. Giving him a boost because he sure as hell couldnt win on his platform, competence or ability.

Neither could the chimp, and he spent two terms in power.
He only had to fiddle the first election as well...
