If they don’t get rid of all of it; we are doomed.
Pretty much Obamacare will be declared DOA.
What’s the Vegas line on this?
If Obama wins look out ,you’ll never hear the end of it and if he loses ,he’ll just ignore it and congress will do nothing

CHANCE
Last prediction was: $7.00 / share
Today’s Change: -$0.50 (-6.7%)
Think this event will occur?
Current best (lowest) price to buy shares is $7.27 / share. There are 35 shares available at this price.
Think this event won’t occur?
Current best (highest) price to sell shares is $7.05 / share. There is 1 share available at this price.
In-trade has aq 70% probability that the individual mandate will be struck down.
There is a possibility all the justices voted for the individual mandate as an excise tax (if it were rewritten as same) BUT only as an excuse to write all the other stuff out of existence in concurring opinions of severe complexity.
That'd get Ruthy's gizzard fur shur ~
Oh, almost forgot, no matter what the decision Romney is not going to say anything at this time.
SCOTUS is just as corrupt as any group in Washington DC, I think they keep the whole bill so as to advance the New World Order and to reduce the number of people in the USA over the next 20 years.
What is the third case tomorrow? I know Stolen Valor is tomorrow too.
I don't know what to make of it except, I honestly believe Roberts did not want to swear zero in as president.
Whatever ... it is an event that I think will interfere with any and everything the supers do ... especially Roberts.
I agree. The mechanic’s of how the court works, is a much better indicator, than the oral arguements.
This writer seems to know the mechanic’s well.
After Kelo I have lost all faith in the Court. I know it’s make up is different but not by much.
Didn’t he already make a comment today that he thinks they won’t be sleeping very well at the WH tonight because of the imminent ruling tomorrow? Not a very strong statement, but it is something.
No matter what the ruling, I’m tuning in to hear Levin’s take on it. Tonight Levin said if the mandate is struck down, Obama will resort to executive orders to reconstitute what was struck down.
I perdict the Supremes are gonna take a mulligan.
I’m guessing mandate out by 6-3, all out by 5-4.
What is the Intrade success rate at predicting SCOTUS decisions?
The problem in Kelo was CONNECTICUT. The “Takings Clause” in the Fifth Amendment applies to the Federal Government. Most of the states have a comparable clause in their own constitutions. Connecticut does not.
