I read an article yesterday that said the justices have probably all already made up their mind how they are going to vote. These oral arguments are just for going through the process. I think its probably true. This is not rocket science. I’m looking for at least the individual mandate to be thrown out 5-4. They will probably leave the rest of it for congress to dismantle as they see fit.

I think your right, but I am not sure. Striking the mandate down will open up an interesting can of worms.

Well, lets hope so. The individual mandate is crucial for funding reasons. Without it, the rest of the scheme can't be paid for without drastic politically suicidal measures. I have read too that the justices will have had their research done by now, and in oral argument they seek only to help clarify and write their opinions.
