Paul Campos was the guest on the Young Turks, that I referenced. This is a snipett.

Did John Roberts switch his vote?

Updated: The dissents suggest the court was set to overturn Obamacare -- until Roberts suddenly changed his vote
By Paul Campos

.....
It is impossible for a lawyer to read even the first few pages of the dissent without coming away with the impression that this is a majority opinion that at the last moment lost its fifth vote. Its structure and tone are those of a winning coalition, not that of the losing side in the most controversial Supreme Court case in many years. But when we get to Page 13, far more conclusive evidence appears: No less than 15 times in the space of the next few pages, the dissent refers to Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s concurring opinion as “Justice Ginsburg’s dissent.”

Watching The Young Turks tonight, Paul Campos said Justice Roberts changed his decision at the last minute (or just about)

In the decision, several places there are references to Justice Ginsburg as if she was on the losing side.
He said this should have been edited, and could have been.
Paul Campos said that the was the way for the Conservatives to let the cat out of the bag, without saying it outright.
In case you want to look for this segment:
