To expand on what I said earlier:
John Roberts is a boss. He restrains Congress' Spending power (via the ruling on the Medicaid mandate) in the most significant way since pre-New Deal (in a 7-2 decision no less!), strikes down the entire argument the administration used regarding the Necessary and Proper Clause, completely nullified any arguments against the court's activism, and diffused future arguments regarding rulings (hello Citizens United). Oh, and he did all of this without overruling Congress directly AND he comes out as the good guy for being bipartisan and giving the liberals what they wanted on face (which is all the headlines will care about).
Pure. Genius.
Turns out Congress is allowed to pass bad policy and it's their responsibility to deal with the consequences.
