This is NOT an opinion case like abortion.(which really was a states rights issue) There are rules in place that either must be followed, thrown out or rejudicated each time congress goes berserk.
IMO they will follow precedent/rules in place. It is NOT a tax, nor follow the current rules of commerce. It was an attempt by the over zealot congress to change the constitution via the judiciary. Not gonna happen.
That is precisely what the liberal members of the Supreme Court are, an extension of the legislative body.That is the biggest conservative criticism of the broad construction powers the liberal members of the court have acquired for themselves. The ability to fashion and amend legislation from the bench. They have a political philosophy and they fashion their interpretation of the law to advance that agenda.You speak of rules and laws as if they are subject to a strict interpretation.In an ideal world, they are and should be as conservatives argue. But liberals have it otherwise where they will surruptitiously insert their values and political philosophy into the argument and fashion their legal decision to accomodate those values. That is why all 4 Dem liberal judges will uphold all parts of Obamacare under a creative extention of the Interstate Commerce provision which the founders never intended.
