It&#8217;s been more difficult for me because of unfortunate timing &#8212; I spent most of the day either in an airport or on a plane, and while I did have connectivity here and there it wasn&#8217;t the best of circumstances to wrap my head around such a complex decision. And make no mistake, the ObamaCare decision is a complex one. If today&#8217;s decision did nothing else, it destroyed the left&#8217;s image of the Roberts court as predictably swinging from the right. Roberts himself comes out of today as perhaps the most mercurial and strategic thinker in all of American politics.]]>Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:26:00 -0400<![CDATA[Bryan Preston]]>https://pjmedia.com/bryan-preston-1/2012/06/28/so-obamatax-it-is-n167425
