Oh yeah, Obama was all worried about "Conservative Judicial Activism."

Wonder if he'll acknowledge the activism in the fact that the court ruled a way that both sides rejecetd. (well I don't... but it's ironic.)

It was a clear case of the court not wanting to stick with the status quo healthcare and finding any legal loophole they could to get it to pass because it was obviously unconsitutuitonal from the commerce clause to anyone who looked at it objectivly.

Roberts, maybe. Ginsburg's opinion (joined by Sotomayor, Breyer, and Kagan) made it clear that they still believe that the Commerce Clause has no practical limits, at least so long as they like the outcome.

One wonders if Roberts wasn't getting a little concerned about the low approval rating. But then again polls are against the individual mandate so he could've scored some points and simultaneously really screwed up Obamacare by upholding everything but striking down the mandate.

This one's just weird.
