quicklist: 4title: 'It Is Not Our Job to Protect the People From the Consequences of Their Political Choices'text: Barack Obama probably never thought that John Roberts would be the person who saved his health care law.

The chief justice of the Supreme Court, appointed by George W. Bush, didn't exactly get off on the right foot with Obama on Day One of his presidency. As he swore in the president-elect in 2009, Roberts bungled the oath of office by misplacing the word "faithfully" -- as in, "that I will execute the office of president of the United States faithfully."

It was Roberts' personality as a stickler for detail that got him caught up. As Steven Pinker noted, Roberts adhered to a strict grammatical stylebook of his own and simply moved the word "faithfully" away from the verb "execute," where it didn't belong, despite the well-known constitutional script.

Thursday, Roberts's attention to detail returned, in a much more substantive way -- and in a fashion Obama is sure to admire. Siding with the liberal justices, Roberts ruled that Obama's so-called mandate to buy health insurance could stand under Congress' power to tax people who don't buy it.

"It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices," Roberts wrote in the court's decision.
