Does anyone think The Supremes will overthrow this law?
I think the mandate is gone. The case made in the 26 state lawsuit is simply too strong. They will uphold that decision by the appellate court. I would be extremely surprised to see them knock down the entire law. The court has seemed to let the legislative branch pretty much do what they want for many decades in terms of shifting power from the people and state to the Federal government. This court has been surprisingly good with their decisions on campaign finance and 2nd amendment...even sometimes going back on past precedent...so I hope they continue that pattern.
I think it’s possible they will overturn it.
There are four solid votes in favor of Obamacare: Breyer, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan. I expect that Scalia, Roberts, Alito, and Thomas will be opposed. If any of those four conservatives vote to uphold Obamacare, then it’s over.
And then there’s Anthony Kennedy. As the one who swings back and forth between the liberal and conservative sides on various issues, he could well be the deciding vote in a 5-4 decision.
I expect the Supremes to overturn ObamaCare. This is not a close call constitutionally, and if the Feds can require us to buy medical insurance with all the quirky items that Congress mandated, then there are no limits on federal power. If I'm wrong, then the United States will die in my lifetime.
I don't know about anyone, but this one has said from the beginning they would not overturn it. They may undo the Mandate, but leave everything else in place, which would in effect require the states to implement some sort of mandate or die under the burden.
What the Progressive/commie/Socialists have put in motion, shall not be undone
Four justices will rule in favor of Obamacare and four will rule it unconstutional. That leaves Anthony Kennedy as the most powerful person in the United States.
