Quote from RCG Trader:
So, Chief Justice Roberts is a liberal now?
He is reminding me of the guy who appointed him, George Bush. A fake conservative who bends over backwards in a vain attempt to compromise with a crowd of people who despise him and all he stands for. So he ends up just compromising his own values and selling out the people who supported him in the process.
This was not a constitutional law decision, beyond the Commerce Clause part. It was just an exercise in raw judical activism, making it up as they go.
This decision will no doubt mark Roberts' legacy as Chief Justice, and it will be one law professors and their students mock for decades.
