Today was a net gain for the good guys, and Roberts’ defection makes the purely partisan court argument that much more difficult to sell.

And once conservatives have a chance to think about it, they’re realize they actually won pretty big today too.

The commerce clause just hit a stone wall, there will be no more expansions. Federal spending to coerce State behavior can never again be retconned, a victory for state’s rights. And the court’s legitimacy has been so thoroughly shored up they’re vaccinated against complaints of partisanship for at least 3-5 big right-wing moves in the next term.
