basically roberts told the american people that congress has the right to pass any unconstitutional law they want, and it is up to the voters to throw them out.....

total abdication of his responsibility


"I, _________, do solemnly swear or affirm that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as _________, according to the best of my abilities and understanding, agreeably to the constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God."

It's "most important"....snort!! And 'abundantly clear' is another faux pas. If it is clear, it's clear. No need to say 'abundantly.'
One of my wife's pet peeves was the use of "close proximity." If something is proximate, it is by definition close.

Unless Krauthammer is right, and the sloppy writing is a sign that Roberts took a position he didn't really believe in order to protect the Court from political attack. The signs say that Roberts wrote what is now the dissent, and flipped late in the process. His reasoning is completely different from the rest of the majority, who upheld the Commerce Clause argument.
