Law Professor Says John Roberts Should Resign Over Obamacare Ruling
2012-06-30
Chief Justice John Roberts, normally a reliably conservative member of the Supreme Court, stunned quite a number of people when he sided with the four more liberal justices and upheld the entire Affordable Care Act yesterday. On The O'Reilly Factor today, guest host Laura Ingraham gauged the right's reaction to the ruling, and one of her guests went as far to suggest that Roberts should resign from the bench.

Ingraham asked her guests if conservatives are right to feel "mortified" about Roberts being a turncoat. Michael Carvin, a constitutional lawyer opposed to Obamacare who argued before the Supreme Court on this case, boiled Roberts' decision down to "What Congress did... was unconstitutional, so I'm gonna pretend they did something different and make it constitutional." He credited Roberts for being "a terrific lawyer who understands the rule of law," but admitted that unlike Coulter, he did not see a ruling like this coming.
