This case will give him a second opportunity to strike down Obamacare but still keep a semblance of independence, after all he upheld it once on different grounds...

Get me up to speed on how this would strike down ObamaCare. I thought this case strictly deals with religious institutions. I'm not being sarcastic. I just would like to know how this affects ALL of ObamaCare.

It's my understanding from reading the blogs on the issue that it would go back to the fact that congress didn't include a severability provision in the law, so if one part goes the entire law goes. (Of course this would be up to the court, the law specifically said the individual mandate was NOT a tax. The court ruled it was a tax anyway. So they could rule any part was severably regardless of the law stating it is severable.)
