If the SC rules in favor of obama, it hands him the election. Of course, I’m about 90% convinced it’s all rigged anyway.
And by the way, I don’t hold out much hope with the SC. We the people allowed this all to go too far decades ago when we fell in love with our congressman for bringing home the pork.
Me either. About the best thing about this getting heard soon is that Conservatives currently hold a marginal sway on the court. If it waits any longer, Obama might get a crack at changing that balance.
My Best Guess is that it will be a muddled, neutral decision that doesn't really settle anything one way or the other.
Best case is "It's unconstitutional", which I frankly doubt will happen. Too many politics involved, and the libs on the court will put paid to that happening, I think.
Worst case is "The bulk of this is constitutional, end of story.", which I think is also a fairly likely outcome. 75% of the law will stand, and the rest will be backdoored through later on when the American People go back to watching "Dancing with the Stars".
I wish that I was wrong. Frankly, and without trying to be too hyperbolic, I think that ObamaCare will be the end of American society, at least as we know it. If, for no other reason than the required loss of freedoms, and the guaranteed loss of employers that will be its end result.
I think Obama wanted this to be fast tracked because he already knows the out come.
No one has standing any more.
We are running out of soap boxes and ballot boxes.. but the ammo boxes are still full... Just saying.
I disagree. In Supreme Court decisions I have read when a questionable law is found not to have violated the constitution, the justices usually take pains to point out it is an issue that must be decided on a political basis by Congress. That could make the 2012 election a public referendum on Obamacare and if the public is educated about what the program actually contains and the effect it will have on an already over-burdened healthcare system, it could be a republican landslide.
If Eliana Kagen does not recuse herself then you can bet it is rigged.

I disagree... If the Supreme Court upholds ObamaCare, I think it will hurt Obama’s re-election chances because the American people clearly DON’T WANT this job-killing, liberty-destroying, budget-busting POS legislation in their lives, as evidence by the resounding rebuke of ObamaCare by the Ohio voters last week. Repealing this monstrosity would be a perfect issue for the GOP presidential nominee to have as part of his/her campaign platform.
Regardless of how the Supreme Court rules, I see it as a lose-lose proposition for Hussein Obama. I just hope the court does the right thing and strikes this heinous law down before it does any further damage to the country and the economy.
