Roberts and America’s political center
Supreme Court Chief Justice siding with liberals was a rare, authentic shocker
You see few authentic political shockers anymore, and when Supreme Court Justice John Roberts sided with the court’s liberals to uphold President Obama’s health care reform law, that was one of them.
But, merits of the law aside, an underlying truth about the resulting shock is that there is utter disbelief in 21st century America that a partisan can truly change his mind and not do so out of Machiavellian calculation or an inability to resist “caving” to opposition political pressure.
