Roberts most amazing decision was the ACA. In fact he provided the argument for the proponents of it by telling them it was a tax. when they refused to use that argument. We really escaped a bullet with that one. I believe he was influenced by his personal medical situation which allowed it to pass This is another reason why Roberts voted down oversight for Southern states, implying that "prejudice" is no longer a problem in those states, because he has no personal experience in being discriminated against.
Roberts decision on citizens united is outrageous, and I believed deeply flawed, the same can be said for kennedy. It is now obvious that Kennedy was kept in check by o'conner, especially with regard to his decisions after she left.
