I hate to disagree so strongly with an American Thinker article, but it is infuriatingly wrong. Judas Roberts betrayed his country and his oath and contributed to the normalization of rule by fiat in the process. That traitor took it upon himself to legislate from the bench to change the wording of the law all by his unelected unrepresentative self to "justify" an unjust and unconstitutional law. You expect your enemies to oppose you. Nothing is worse than when an ally stabs you in the back.
What he did was nothing short of lawless. He ignored his own conviction that the law as written was unconstitutional and repeated his self reversal by doing what no judge should ever do in acting as a law maker instead of an adjudicator of the law that is written.
The only way this can be seen as a trap is if you accept his unrepresentative rule by fiat as some kind of slick legal slight of hand check on the legislative process. You have to accept that he had the authority to modify a law from the bench to even get to the "gotcha" moment. It is the death of a Republic.
I have never been so pissed at a government official.
Quoting: Resister I tend to agree with your analysis for the most part. I don't think roberts was as prescient or clever as the article maintains. But here is the thing if roberts had ruled correctly there would be a dem house now, obongo would be the put upon great leader who only wanted to help people and the hildebeast would be a lock for 2016. Instead it is all unraveling for them. From the article- The thing is, however, that the decision has spawned another Great Awakening, because ObamaCare is a civics lesson from hell, with vast implications for America's future. This would not be happening if the law had been squelched in the cradle. People who ordinarily couldn't care less about wonky debates over federal power now see that the law has less to do with insuring the uninsured than with one political party's lunge for unprecedented power and control over people's lives.

That seemed absolutely awesome until the newly empowered Republican House immediately betrayed the people who put them there in less than a year with a 2 trillion dollar increase in the deficit limit and the creation of an unelected unrepresentative "super committee" to spend it all. To say that I was completely disillusioned is an understatement. Following that 2011 betrayal and the realization that nothing was going to get by the Senate, the next opportunity for "change" back to a republic rule of law was the 2012 election cycle when the "R" people stabbed us in the back again with the Romney Nomination. Judas Roberts could have done his job and he didn't. Nothing honorable or strategically admirable about that. IF he thought he was being sly trying to lay some kind of a trap, he was playing Russian Roulette with our Republic form of government and the rule of law and that trigger has already been pulled. Even if it were repealed or ruled unconstitutional in the next few months, the damage is done. The Republic, not to mention the economy, is mortally wounded. He held the gun and he chose to fire instead of hold.
