This is a chess game and Roberts sacrificed a piece to gain a superior position on the board.....thinking several moves ahead.

"this" is no game.....

if he sincerely believes that he voted with the left for any reason OTHER than he concluded (erroneously) that the ACA law was constitutional because he simply rewrote the pesky mandate 'penalty' he should be removed from office...of course that will never happen because even if he were to actually come out and publicly admit he voted against his *true* belief for political advantage...

so, he is playing POLITICS for some type of future 'advantage'? are you joking?

*supposedly* the life term of the supreme court justices was implemented for precisely the reason that they need not FEAR political repercussions when issuing an unpopular opinion....

this 'tactical' decision making process, if true, is complete and utter bull$hit on his part....

and personally, i don't think it is true, what i think is true is that roberts is just another DC narcissist who doesn't want to upset the applecart of unfettered federal power

we are truly on our own

anything the congress does under tax scheme is fair game, even if the tax is regressive, punitive and coercive against our enumerated liberties....roberts gave the constitution and the american people the back of his hand, good statist that he is, and basically said congress and the executive branch have total control over what we do and do NOT do under penalty of a TAX....if you don't like it, elect a new government....so much for checks and balances....
