Today’s stunning ruling, in which Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s four more liberal members to devise a way to make the Affordable Care Act constitutional should really not come as a surprise. Not if you take a step back from today’s political rhetoric and realize that the court is the branch of government that must take the long view.

Finally, with today’s Supreme Court decision, a decades-long battle is over: “Dewey Beats Truman,” is no longer the biggest major screw-up in American media history.
