Let me attempt some psychological analysis. Fair warning I'll probably screw it up.
Roberts desire to not have the judiciary be the arbiter of legislative disagreements has over ridden his constitutional beholdings. IMHO
He understands the left banks on the judiciary to do what they are too cowardly to do and back up the rare times they act and overreach and he knows this isnt the job of judicial review.
The judicial branch was meant to be the weakest of the three not the activists they have become. They were supposed to simply decide Constitutionality peroid without agenda. I think he fails cause he has this agenda. He is infuriating, I think he try's so hard not to legislate that makes stupid decisions like create a tax just so he doesn't have to completely kill a law congress passed.
Hows that for an attempt at mental gymnastics? The man is an enigma at times and most definitely not the strict originalist we thought he was to be.
Thanks for you stating those impressions and thoughts CC. Appreciate that viewpoint.
