The white hut has already threatened Roberts...and I have wondered what they have on him ever since. I am actually worried about this one.
Roberts is the wild card. Ailto, Thomas and Scalia I am not concerned about but do I have any faith in Roberts? hell NO
1) You got your mandate, saying that in order to not be criminalized for existing, you have to buy something. Nowhere, even in the 14th Amendment consitution of limited privileges, does it say or mean that you have to pay simply to not be a criminal. There is no possible way this fits any interpretation of the Constitution.
2) You got your severability, which was specifically ruminated over in the Senate, and then discarded. Which means there is no way to interpret the lack of severability a accidental, but rather a deliberate intention of Congress.
Therefore, My Fellow Americans, and In Conclusion, you can't give a pass to the mandate, and once that's gone, you have to throw out the entire bill along with it.
That's the law.
Anything other than that, is politics - and not nice politics, either.

Those Bush boys can sure pick them. /sarcasm
This sounds like obstruction of justice and can be acted on.
Court decisions are made by interpreting the Constitution, not by pleasing people.
