You are correct of course. The court will not overturn Obamacare because then they will have to revisit all the other unconstitutional power grabs like social security and medicare.

Well, I hope I'm wrong. The only real hope is that they focus on the "mandate" as somehow being constitutionally different from establishing a program directly with tax dollars. Oddly, though I think this law should be unconstitutional, focusing on this "mandate" angle that doesn't appear to have any particularly constitutional basis would mean we're inventing one bogus constitutional doctrine to kill another.
Makes my head hurt.
