>> His decisions on Obamacare were likely rooted in his reluctance to have the USSC overturn something of that magnitude.

You may not get this, but the way it works is when a justice writes an opinion, he sets out his rationale for arriving at the conclusion he did. Hence, "likely rooted" is just bullshit. Unless, you have some special knowledge the rest of the country doesn't have.

I was simply pointing out that Roberts has not been quite the Republican rubber stamp you suggested. As many justices do, he follows his own interpretation of the law. And sometimes he gets it right and other times he gets it wrong.

There are not many slam dunks there.
