Strange bedfellows. Jeb's brother George appointed John Roberts, whom Sen. Obama voted against. Roberts has now saved Obamacare twice.

You know what's interesting? Searching "John Roberts Earl Warren" on Twitter.

I'm on the Floor now, and while no names will be named, I've heard more than a few GOP reps relieved at #SCOTUS King v Burwell decision.

MomSense and some other commentors pointed out, late last night, that the SCOTUSBlog (“A private blog. NOT THE JUSTICES OR THE COURT”) tweetfeed had been starling-mobbed by not-very-observant wingnuts. The individuals behind the blog decided to treat their new correspondents with all the respect they deserved. One sample:
We make the law, and you will like it MT @sparkey909w @SCOTUSblog You're rewriting law not interpreting. You've failed us again

But the whole of politically-oriented twitter was a godsdamned festival…
In the end, did King v Burwell hurt Republicans? They spent six months of a GOP Congress waffling on Obamacare, waiting for the SCOTUS fairy

This is the greatest destruction of individual liberty since Dred Scott. This is the end of America as we know it. No exaggeration.
