@Steve in DC: Once Roberts decided that PPACA was constitutional as a tax, his statements on the Commerce Clause become dicta, i.e., not binding on lower courts.
I skimmed the various opinions (193 pages total). Justice Ginsburg addresses very well Roberts’ concerns about the expansion of the Commerce Clause.
