I’m generally prone to pessimism when it comes to things like this.

Not without cause; consider Wickard, Raich, Kelo, Roe, and the recent AZ rulings.

I hope I won’t be eating crow tomorrow, but my gut tells me we’re going to be by and large happy with how the SCOTUS comes down on the ACS.

Sadly I don't share that opinion, precisely because of the progressions and 'reasoning' of those above-cited cases.

I agree.

It is a tax and the issue of semantics is weak. The court is not going to rule on “should” just “can”.

I hope I am wrong. I do not want this ticket to slavery. Servitude to the company store.

And I was wrong. Tragically wrong. :(
