Since males can't stop thinking in competitive terms, today's decision by the Supreme Court came out as an Obama win.  Obama, on the other hand saw it is a victory for the American people.  One disgruntled Republican commented, demonstrating his ignorance clearly, that it meant nothing.  After all, it was only a judgement from the Supreme Court, it meant nothing about whether it was constitutional or not.

At last, Roberts acted like a judge and not a Conservative Republican clone.Until today he wasn't leaving much of a legacy for himself as he was clearly breaking the rules with his partisanship.  Those who (CNN and Fox News) reported that the mandate was judged to be unconstitutional might just have heard from conservatives who thought they had Roberts in their pocket as well as so many Legislators.  One out of three is a beginning for Roberts.  At least he didn't go on to get three strikes yet.

If people didn't know before that CNN and Fox were really not reporters or working journalists, they should have learned it today.  Much of the media has blathering copycats. The only network who seemed to have gotten it right at the git-go was MSNBC, only minutes after it was announced.

CBS News has a video here about Roberts rewriting his legacy.  From the N.Y. Times:: "To be sure, the chief justice considers himself the custodian of the Supreme Court’s prestige, authority and legitimacy, and he is often its voice in major cases. There was reason, then, to think he might have provided a sixth vote to uphold the law had Justice Anthony M. Kennedy joined the court’s four-member liberal wing." ....."“There is a difference,” Chief Justice Roberts wrote in Citizens United, “between judicial restraint and judicial abdication.”  I certainly hope he learned that difference since the Citizen's United vote. His legacy took a nose dive with that one.
