I think the mandate will be overturned, too. The big deal is whether the rest of Obamacare survives. I’m guessing that was the topic for the most heated SCOTUS internal discussions. Personally? I don’t see how this house of cards can stand if its foundation is ripped out.

To my knowledge, Congress did not include a severability clause. Yet, they routinely put serverability clauses in other legislation. Meaning: it was intentionally left out. At least that should be a reasonable interpretation.

Secondly, Obamacare only works if healthy people are forced to participate. Otherwise, the other mandates won’t be funded as intended. How else can the insurance pools afford to cover uninsured people who join only after they’re sick?

I feel like a dope, because I was one of those who predicted that the Court would uphold the statute by a lopsided majority

Sounds like a future conservative.

The left has a plan should the ruling be unfavorable to them. What does the right have? I'd expect meek acceptance.

I think we won’t know until the decision is read othrwise it’s a guessing game much like the weather.. supposed to be nice tomorrow but it could rain.

What of the “severability clause”? Since the Dems inserted it into the bill they could have shot themselves in the foot but that decision is just as important. They could throw the entire bill out.

I would love to see that happen.

Polls mean nothing

Polls don't mean squat. I hope that the Supreme Court will overturn the law, but I expect them to uphold it.

But our problems as a Nation have nothing to do with either obama or obamacare. It has to do with voters who elect and re-elect individuals such as Bill Clinton,Hillary Clinton, obama, and Jimmy Carter. Instead of being educated to think and fend fro themselves, the population is being indoctrinated toward slavery. And most [about 99%] do not know or care that this is happening.
