This is simply a misrepresentation of Judge Roberts opinion. He said quite simply that other procedural mechanisms exist including Congress & other lower appellate courts who could intervene first.

You guys are really stretching things here. Go D.C.! The rest of the country will follow in the coming years. And Brian will be out of a job.
