I read somewhere that apparently the adoption of one of his kids wasn't exactly "according to Hoyle" and he was blackmailed with that info into tipping the scales in favor of Obammycare.

Very plausible. I herd that one also, back around 2012. I think what ever leverage they have on him is deeper. He was a Bush appointee who the Dems (with control) did not fight. That tells me more. Remember, the Dems, in the end, needed Citizens United to fall the way it did, so they could hide their dirty money easier, even though they made a big deal about bitching about it. So, he was not necessary supporting conservative speech, or being an origionalist, as much as serving the UNIPARTY entrenchment politicians/machine with that ruling.
Remember, Roberts is NOT A Constitutional Origionalist or overly conservative. If push really came to shove, he would be a swing vote.

I've always considered Roberts compromised since the Obama Care ruling.

Blackmail is no excuse for treachery. he had the choice to step down, but he chose to play the game with Obama. Now he is going down.
