I believe that Roberts wanted ACA because the country needs health care reform. ACA may not be ideal but it’s better than nothing, because nothing is what we’d get without ACA.
But Roberts chose to hand Obama a victory because it was the right thing to do for the country and the credibility of the Court.

Brian: Roberts “wanted” ACA? Really? Based on what reasoning? I hate to break this to you, but you’re arguing about another entitlement amidst impending massive fiscal dislocation. You did notice that Stockton went belly up, right?
Whether or not this country “needs” health reform is actually irrelevant right now. The Great Society programs of the 1960s were enacted during a period of surplus, meaning we could afford both Beans (Great Society) and Bullets (Vietnam War.) Those days are looooong gone, my friend.
Times have irrevocably changed and neither the Dems nor the GOP is prepared. At this point, it doesn’t matter if Obama gets elected, or Romney. Neither has a clue and neither has a plan. So, as to handing Obama a victory? In the grand scheme of things, eh, not so much. The SCOTUS decision actually handed both Obama AND Romney a victory, of sorts. You’re familiar with the term “Pyrrhic Victory”, right?
