Bumping so I can find the thread later!
Intrade seems to have stabilized at 73.7%
In before the ouster of communism...
I wanna see Obagumby break down in tears today.
Man I hope this dies - I don’t think I can stand hearing the term “ObamaCare” the rest of my life.
Arg! I can’t take the waiting!
It’s probably been discussed many times before, but I’m going to ask it anyway (and really don’t know the answer):
Why do they wait so long to announce? Why not announce as soon as the two positions — the ruling and the dissent — are written up? Wasn’t that done weeks/months ago?
What is this, reality TV?

Let's hope the SCOTUSblog publisher is wrong. Given the ruling on AZ, we all have reason to be concerned by today's ruling. I am afraid that whatever decision is made will try to cut the baby in half rather than being definitive. If the mandate is upheld no matter how much the Court tries to limit its application, i.e., this would only apply to the unique circumstances of health care, our Constitution will be rendered meaningless.
So much is at stake today. Will the system rise to the challenge?
In before the “unexpected”
Seems to me that this might be the most important day in the past 100 years...
Prediction:
ACA mandate is a tax and cannot be decided until after the tax is applied (2014 & after the Presidential election).

I will have to line up the live coverage on MSNBC and CNN. That way if it is shot down I can watch and enjoy.
Look and listen for the pale faces and heavily medicated voices.
If it is shot down I predict the left will once again cry racism.
Oh, and they will actually try to tie the recovery of the economy into Obamacare.
They will not be sucessful.
Insanity on parade.
Well, its always been on parade on the left. Its just that more people will suddenly wake up and see it for the first time.
Prediction:
No more individual mandate but the SJ will make it very easy for Democrats to barrel ahead with 0-Care. If 0 can screw Arizona he will find away to screw the rest of us
I’m dying to light up a victory stogie.
I don’t even want to consider defeat.
I’ll be going into a meeting right at 10 ET
To me the prolonged wait has just smacked from the beginning to be another Kardashian reality show, with the actors in robes, and the whole suspense drama titillating the media along with the Oprah-ized lumpen masses.
What's next, public betting parlors and oddsmakers for Supreme Court decisions? Oscar awards for the Justice who drops the most clues without revealing the secret in the envelope, please?
I'll bet many of the great Supreme Court jurists of the past are cringing in their graves over this theater of the absurd.

This I am sure will turn out to be one of the greatest days in the this Republic’s history.
The ramifications, if it is not squashed are to enormous to even fully consider. The Government will have the power and the LAW to tell us what to do, without question. That’s based on the stupid “previous ruling” agreement.
