How great a chance do we have to overthrow ObamaCare in the courts? To answer that question we need to look into that bleak pit of falsehood and mendacity that America's left would like us to ignore at all costs, the historical record.
We need to look at the original effort to nationalize the American economy, the one attempted by Obama's model, Franklin D. Roosevelt, by means of the New Deal. FDR was never quite clear about what he wanted to do. He was clear about the goal, but not about how to get there. Not unlike Obama, he left that problem to various retainers, in this case the members of the Brain Trust.
The two key Brain Trusters were Adolf Berle and Rexford G. Tugwell. Both men were professors at Columbia, and both were of one mind concerning the solutions to America's economic problems: collectivism, centralization, and state control.

Obama needs a court that will side with him.
He can try to increase the members of the court (like FDR), but that will probably be opposed.
He can try to pursuade justices to retire, but the oldest are the liberals.
He can try to force some conservatives out of the court....would Obama be beyond smearing a justice to the point of forcing their resignation?
We all know the Chicago way.
wonder if obamas cheerleading stunt at the expense of the supremes will bite him completely in the ass?
It’s sad that our Republic’s life is hanging on 5 Supreme Court justices.
