LOL. Kagan was an architect of the plan. So the article requires she have been thinking: “I’ll design a fascist plan with an individual mandate.”

I don’t know. But that seems like a less likely scenaraio than “Whoppee! We finally have total control over life and death. It sure took a long time for us to get those dolts in flyover country out of the way. But all’s well that ends well. We know what’s best for them and in the end, they will thank us for being so wise and generous.”

Even when they are objectively evil, most progressives don’t think of themselves as evil.

RATs in the comments are not pleased with this guy's description of the mandate as "fascist". I like this response:

I think you do not understand what life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness means. But even if it meant what you are saying it means, or think it should mean, wouldn't you agree that there are many ways to improve life beyond medicine, including food, shelter, clothing, plumbing, electricity, and so on.

In fact, each of those things is probably more important to your survival. So, wouldn't it make sense to be guaranteeing people things like clothing, food and electricity too, and probably even before the right to medical procedures and such?

Equal access to care has nothing to do with insurance. You are injecting this need to insure into a care scenario where you think it should be nationalized. If it is nationalized, insurance companies must be either phased out or primarily paid for from the federal government. The government cannot guarantee equal access through forced purchasing of insurance. The only constitutional way the government could do it is though a system where it is paid for through tax revenues.

9-0? No way. If it’s struck down, it will be a party-line vote.

If it gets struck down it would be no better than 5-4. The liberal justices were quite clear where they stood in the oral arguments, especially Kagan...I don’t see it being 9-0.

The real question is how Bobo will circumvent the decision the way they just did with SB1070.

I could see True Believer libs like Ruth Buzzi...er, Bader Ginsberg voting nay. They would never approve of a law forcing you to support Big Eeeeeeeevil Capitalist Insurance Companies. They are Single Payer fans to the core.

Kagan and the Wise Latina though will do Barry’s bidding.

The author is delusional in the extreme. The supreme court has been a political institution for quite some time now, contrary to the intention of the founders of this former Republic. Anyone who thinks the court, with its current makeup of ideologues would come down 9-0 on this particular issue needs to be kept away from sharp objects.

I doubt that the same supreme court that placed citizens below illegal immigrants, and gave the EPA enormous powers over the people will suddenly choose to do the right thing regarding Obamacare.
