Pelosi was right. We had to pass the law to see what’s in it. What was in it was an exploding dye pack of merde that is about to blow up in the Democrats collective face.

Rush said Scalia asked, “You really expect us to read the entire 2700 page law!”. Lol! Of course, not Justice Kennedy, nobody else did!

When will the ruling come down?

As usual, it all rests on Kennedy. If he votes to shoot it down, that frees the Dems to vote as they think best. But they will certainly vote in Obamacare’s favor, especially on the severability issue, if Kennedy does.

The fact that they are all asking questions may be serious, or it may just be political cover. They wouldn’t want to destroy the country unless they appeared to examine all the issues very carefully.

Obamacare was crafted with string and chewing gum.

If an intern presented a sumamry to a Justice written like this his next assignment would be cleaning out the SCOTUS head.

That would be wonderful. I conjure the Democrats would be happy if the individual mandate was struck down but the rest maintained. That would end private insurance as people would wait till they got sick to purchase health insurance. That has been the goal all along in my opinion.

Don`t. Be. Fooled!

The comments and questions from SCOTUS justices should never be taken as a harbinger of their final rulings. They`re playing devil`s advocate by design. Remember, four of them are locked down for 0bama. Our side is the dicier one by far.

Do it. Kill the whole thing. It needs to be shot in the head...a double tap to ObamaCare.

His signature act...thrown out as unconstitutional before he finished his first (and, hopefully, only) term. Fitting, and representative of almost everything he has done.

The hubris of NOT putting in a severability clause is astonishing... and laughable.

I still don't believe a word that comes out of any reporter's mouth. We could easily be Mahili’d.

My understanding is that the bill failed to include a severability clause. Any part found unconstitutional invalidates the whole thing. The individual mandate is likely to be found unconstitutional. That should toss the whole thing. Make the corrupt politicians write short, concise bills that aren't loaded with tons of trash that gets crammed down our throats because it is beyond the comprehension and time of the elected officials to vet before voting.

Will somebody please take Bo the dog into protective custody? Right about now Obama is stalking around looking for something or someone to kick. It shouldn’t be the innocent dog.

[tinfoilhaton] This entire production is going exactly as Obama and his handlers have planned. 'Obamacare' was intended to fail constitutional muster. Having the supreme court declare it unconstitutional because it requires citizens to purchase a product from a private corporation is exactly what they want.

That is because the intent all along has been to drive this country toward a nationwide, single payer, federal government operated and controlled, health 'insurance' and health 'care' system. The supreme court has not and will not rule that requiring people to participate in a federal program is not unconstitutional. If they were to to that, then social security, medicaid, medicare, etc. would ALL go out the window.

The Obama administration NEEDS the current Obamacare mandate to be ruled unconstitutional in order to open the door for the to unveiling of the next Obamacare mandate - the one which requires everybody to purchase health insurance from the federal government - the one which WON'T be ruled unconstitutional by our dysfunctional supreme court...[tinfoilhatoff]

Do NOT rely on Toobin he is an idiot. This argument is only about severability. It makes sense to frame questions as if the mandate will be struck down.

It’s possible for Kennedy to preserve the mandate because he knows otherwise he must strike the whole law.

Just saying. You have to wonder what a fool like Toobin thought conservative justices would ask during quetioning.

Article 1 Section 8 is a short list. Providing Universal healthcare, or forcing us to buy a government run health care policy, is WELL outside the scope of authorized power.

Will Bambi throw the SCOTUS in jail for disobeying him?

Crazy things have happened in this country since he started taking showers in the White Hut.

I can only pray that they do, but I won’t hold my breath for it until it happens. Nothing is for certain and this guy’s not counting this chicken until it’s hatched.
