Blogger: Althouse - Post a Comment: ""Once it emerged that Roberts would rely on the taxing power, there was 'fair amount of give-and-take with Kennedy and other justices,' that one justice described as 'arm-twisting.'"

I wonder what this arm-twisting sounds like. Does it sound like "You, Kennedy went along with a similar statutory interpretation in case X." Or does it sound like "this is going to be a huge public relations disaster if you don't vote with me." Some clerk or justice can provide vital evidence on whether Roberts actually believes his opinion or was just faking it for the sake of politics."
