BOSTON, Mass. — Did Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.’s wife Jane play a role in his his decision in the health care law ruling?

It’s possible, according to the Huffington Post’s Christina Wilkie, citing anonymous sources close to the Roberts family.

Jane, the sources say, exercises a “heavy influence” over her husband. Other friends say that it is not unusual for spouses to be influential. In Washington, “access is everything,” writer and noted Washington dinner party host Sally Quinn told Wilkie. “If you want to reach somebody in Washington, the best way to reach them is through their wives.”
