As I said, it's political war. They would use any defeat of O-C to to hurt Republicans in the longer run by blaming them for rising prices just like we blame O-C for them now, and then slowly get the votes they need. Short term a defeat would hurt Obama very badly.

A ruling against obamacare is a double-edged sword, and the ultimate result would (note that I am not counting on Kennedy) depend on the political skill and determination of both sides, as well as what happens in the world beyond the control of both parties. The GOP can say that Obama should have worked on the economy instead of healthcare, but they clearly can't expect their argument to speak for itself.
