I think it will make it’s way to the court fairly quickly, 5 or 6 months. I can’t even come up with a constitutional argument in favor of an individual mandate.
Obama will be making a pick before the year is out IMO.
If we, get a group of States together and pull out the tenth amendment, we could form a new government and cut the old out of the loop. We could appoint our own SCOTUS. Elect our own reps, and appoint a new senate taking the constitution back to where it worked as a e republic and not a damn democracy that favors population centers and collections of voting blocks wanting free-bees that other must pay for.
We could isolate the remaining states, and they would kill each other. Ending our problems for at least two generations.
