The first time around, my gut told me that SCOTUS wouldn't strike down the law because they couldn't resist the impulse to do something "historic."

But now Obamacare has been exposed as a complete disaster that no judge wants to be associated with. I can see a SCOTUS landslide.

Agree. I KNEW they would somehow find for Obamacare. Roberts likely was blackmailed. ALL the arguments FOR Obamacare, in front of the SCOTUS, argued that the ‘fee’ was not a ‘TAX’. Yet the SCOTUS found that it could be considered a TAX and that finding allowed them to consider it Constitutional. I pray they reject the WHOLE THING. I’d also like to point out that the Dem Senators, now complaining about Obamacare, really wanted Socialized Medicine. That’s what they’re complaining about; NOT getting the Gov’t out of medical care in this country.

I agree with you. The opinions on the last one were close, even for those who supported it. They have lots of leeway now to reverse their decision and not be seen as political. Although I would love to see them blame Gruber as another post discussed.

PS-Never mind the machinations the Senate had to go through to pass this phony Bill. All Taxation Bills MUST originate in the House. The Senate took a Bill the House had passed, took out every word, inserted all the words in Obamacare and then voted on it. As it had a House number on the Bill, they claimed it had started in the House. Then passed it using reconciliation. The people responsible for this travesty need to be in prison, not in Congress.
