Recommend this post if you do not believe that John Roberts's vote to uphold Obamacare (a deviation from his conservative views) was part of an intricate plan to maybe make Obama lose the elections, and if you think that sometimes even a conservative will disagree with other conservatives.
I don't like John Roberts generally speaking for being a conservative, but I congratulate him for this very important vote that made Barack Obama and Paul Krugman happy.
