Many pundits are saying the the Roberts " defection " was done in reaction to the over abundance of publicity given to Justice Kennedy prior to the vote, as he was considered the “swing” voter and the " moderate" voice of conservatism on the court. Roberts wanted it known whose “court” it really was.

Alito goes along with the herd but Kennedy is the X- factor and the darling of the press. In short, ego overcame dogma.
