Special Round-Up: ACA Upheld

For the thousands of people who rely on this blog for legal news, I... what? no one does? Oh. Well, anyway, you may have heard that a fairly important decision came down today. Chief Justice Roberts joined the liberal wing of the Court in upholding the ACA more or less in its entirety (including the hot button individual mandate). I'll devote an entire section of links on this in tomorrow's round-up, but a few to get the ball rolling:

The opinion, in its entirety.

The New York Times piece on the decision. 

And some NYT speculation on the decision's electoral effects. 

The Atlantic on what the decision means. 

And on what's next for Obama and Romney as a result. 

And for fun, a 2007 piece on Chief Justice Roberts. 

Slate's continuing coverage. 

Salon's take.
