I wouldn't get my hopes up. How ever the ruling comes down it will go to the SCOTUS. If Roberts was willing to rewrite the law and call the mandate a tax I doubt he will eliminate the subsidies for the 34 states that did not set up state exchanges.

Also, if the subsidies were to get eliminated obama won't agree to repeal the rest of the law. The Rats will then work state by state to push for exchanges to be set up.

The law does not have a severability clause. If any parts of it goes, it is gone.

Dude, I’ve always felt thst Roberts was far craftier than you realize.

He got the liberal wing of the court to agree to a dramatic curtailment of the Commerce Clause, plus a prohibition against forcing states to accept the Faustian bargain about Medicare and Medicaid. All in exchange for buying into Obama’s b-llshit claim that the mandate was a tax.

If the SCOTUS throws out the entire law next year due to Harry Reid ignoring his duty under the Establishment Clause, then you will be singing Robert’s praises for a brilliant two strokes.

I might be wrong about this but I sure hope I’m right.
