If Obamacare gets thrown out, it will be a 5-4 decision. There is not one Dem appointed judge on that panel that will overturn any part of Obamacare regardless of the ruse that 1 or 2 of them put up that they have serious reservations about parts of it. I cannot think of one Dem marquee legislation in the past 20 years that has been considered by the SC that a Dem appointed judge ever voted to overturn.
I’ll bet you think the Gore/Bush vote was 5-4 because that is what the MSM told you. The gore vote was 7-2. My father clerked in the federal court system just out of college. When the court was deciding the Gore/Bush case he wrote the vol/page/para of what law the case would be decided and which jurist would vote which way. He gave the info to a local judge (friend) who opened it in open court the day the decision was announce. Dad was 100% correct.
He says either 7-2 or 6-3 The jurist will hold their positions long past BO, just as those who voted anti Gore and are still on the Court.
