Have you wondered why Justice Roberts went against everything he supposedly stands for and saved Obamacare. I have and then it came to me in a flash, he did it to help the GOP. How you ask, simple. Abortion has been a huge issue and support for the GOP for decades. But with all the limitations put on abortion by the states themselves the issue is losing its ability to stir the hearts and votes of the GOP base and many independents. So a new issue had to be put forth to bring the base back into line, the voting line preferably for the GOP. By allowing Obamacare to stay in place, Roberts has done just that. As Chief Justice no one could do anything to him for voting as he did and the GOP has an issue they can work on and dismantle one step at a time into the distant future. The first step was just taken today by the GOP controlled SCOTUS, allowing corporations to cut out a portion of the law. It will not be the last. So, I don't know if this was part of the GOP plan from the beginning with the cooperation of Roberts, but Roberts has given them an issue to take the place of the dying issue that is abortion.
