New York Magazine : "John Roberts Saves Us All" By Jonathan Chait - "Roberts, We will never complain about you again. Until next term" - "The crisis of legitimacy has been averted. I have rarely felt so relieved".

Excerpt :

"Two fears have hovered over American liberals since the legal case against the Affordable Care Act began wending its way through the legal system. The first was a fear that conservatives would succeed in revising what Jeffrey Rosen called (in a prescient and classic 2005 New York Times Magazine story) "The Constitution In Exile" — that it would interpret the Constitution to require right-wing economic policy. A second, and darker, fear was that five Republican-appointed justices would concoct a jury-rigged ruling in order to win a huge battle that its party had lost in Congress — that wildly partisan Bush v. Gore–style rulings would now become regular features of the political scene."
