re: #85 EPR-radar

Roberts is a dedicated GOP hack who is still capable of recognizing reality. Had SCOTUS ended the ACA by judicial fiat, there would have been no way to pretend that SCOTUS majority was anything other than 5 Republicans fucking things up like any other group of GOP partisan nutjobs would do.

So Roberts ‘saved’ the ACA but put all kinds of shit in the ruling that let GOPers sabotage it at the state level and create an ‘Obamacare failed’ narrative. Gutting the voting rights act wasn’t as politically dangerous for the court, so that naturally happened. Fuck Roberts with a rusty trenching tool.

It’s easier than that. Roberts is about business. The ACA was a boon to insurance companies. Politics didn’t play into it. Money did.
