As a model. he doesn't want to be a partisan and a tool for the republican party. he is the chief justice. he has to set a legacy for himself and for the court. this has to be a big part of what he was thinking. i'm not sure i agree that he wants to be on the wrong side and the public on health care. >> we're are psychoç analyzing him. i don't want to move him too far down the road on health care. >> i'm with you. >> he found a way around it to get to the tax issue as opposed to commerce. >> can you say he the conservatives a bone by names it a tax. >> they wrote this morning that this decis...
