As an illustration of how absurd Roberts' behavior is, just about any lower court decision could usurp previous Supreme Court decisions. Since Roberts won't even defend a previous ruling that he made himself, then the latest lower court ruling against Obamacare should be allowed to stand without Supreme Court review. That's right. It was Roberts who decided in favor of Obamacare before. If he is consistent, he won't vote to review the lower courts recent ruling that Obamacare is unconstitutional.
If you think that is all that could happen, consider this: what is to prevent a lower court to rule that all of the New Deal programs, including Social Security, is unconstitutional? That is how nutty Roberts' ruling really was.

Based upon this article in Conservative Review, Roberts is definitely out of line.
Why do you suppose he is doing this? Is he really being blackmailed? There was some talk about that.
