Q: (CNN) -- The Supreme Court begins each session with a proclamation that ends with the words "God save this Honorable Court." Even strict advocates of the separation of Church and State ought to say "Amen" to that line after Thursday's decision upholding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act .

All Americans, however, regardless of their partisan affiliation or views on the Constitution, had something to celebrate Thursday . Despite what almost all the pundits predicted, the court's decision provides some evidence that there remains one institution of American government that cannot be seen as nakedly partisan. In the end, Chief Justice John Roberts, a career Republican who was nominated for the Supreme Court by George W. Bush, cast the deciding vote upholding the signature act of the current Democratic administration.Paul Sracic says whatever your political bent, you can celebrate Supreme Court's decisionHe says it's evidence that there's still an American institution that is not nakedly partisanHe says a career Republican, the Chief Justice, cast deciding vote on Dem Obama's lawSracic: The example of bipartisan deliberation was much needed in today's political climate
