Scotus showed yesterday they are not prepared to do their job. They piece-mealed the Arizona decision so they could give a little to everyone. They are using a purely political template. Why say this? Because there is no sane judge who'd read the Constitution to say that a state law cannot be enacted because it violates a president's decision to implement it.
IOW, if it had been a conservative president unconcerned with his direction being mirrored by a state law, then that Az law would have been constitutional. The ruling yesterday was that it's unconstitutional to violate a chief executive's whim. That's insane....as Scalia said, it's "mind-boggling".
What does this mean? It means they'll put a political template on the ObamaCare decision and give everyone a little bit of what they want. (And they'll turn a blind eye to any whim on the part of the president to fund it via executive redistribution of funds.)
My prediction is
Mandate down 6-3 w Sotomayor joining majority
Rest stays 5-4 w Kennedy joining gins, kagam breyer, and soto

And now look at what Obama, et al, are doing to Arizona as a state. What has happened to justice and accountability in the US government? Where is the Congress on Obama? This reprobate is out of control. This is serious!
The SCOTUCS is a political machine. They want to be invited to the “good” parties, and like the junkets as much as anyone. Ruling against the Elite on health care will end that.
