The Court would have very good reasons for not taking up the administration's desire to appeal the 11th circuit's ruling, including the fact that the Court would prefer to have more of the circuits weigh in on an issue of such magnitude before they consider it - by doing that, they get the benefit of seeing how the various circuit court judges have reasoned about the matter, which makes it easier for them to zero in on the real crux of the case.

However, the Court will hear cases on the unconstitutionality of Obamacare, if for no other reason than the fact that there is a split between several of the circuits already: the law, as it stands now, is constitutional in the 6th circuit and unconstitutional in the 11th circuit, and so it is only those who live within the jurisdiction of the 11th circuit who are free of the abomination. That sort of situation cannot stand.

Are you sure? I didn't think these were, in effect, regional courts but federal - and that one ruling unconstitutional means it's unconstitutional, no matter if all the other circuits rule it constitutional or not.
