Was Roberts vote conservatism/neoliberalism blinking?

[yurbud]

The last time I can remember the right suffering a defeat like this was when Bush wanted to privatize Social Security, but that effort failed because Democrats in the Senate took a rare stand against the right and didn't budge.

What was extraordinary in this case was a CONSERVATIVE stopped the conservative steamroller, does that mean the right has realized the limits of how far they can push for corporatocracy/plutocracy before the people will rise up or was it something else?
