Win the case (I hope) and then kill it dead since Obamacare does not contain a severability clause.

There used to be a time when I thought Justice Kennedy was the only wildcard with 4 being reliably for the original intent of the constitution and the other 4 reliably liberal.

Now, I’m afraid, there are two wildcards... Roberts being the other.

I dread it but I think SCOTUS is in their pocket

Liberalism is the new state church. They won the election and we lost, so we're supposed to just get over it, shut up and pay. Our religion takes an inferior position to theirs.

We should be grateful that they let us practice it at all. < / sarcasm >

They have modified this turd, without legislation, numerous times with nary a peep from the loyal opposition (GOPe).

It all needs to be sent back for re-legislation. But it won’t. That would be racist/sexist.

No, sorry. The contraception mandate is not in the legislation. So it is not a matter of the legislation being found unconstitutional.

This is about a regulation. Regulations can be changed.

Will Elena Kagan be able to participate? After all, she WAS solicitor general while a lot of similar turmoil was ongoing.

And will they need, what?, 2 years to come to an opinion?

RE: And will they need, what?, 2 years to come to an opinion?

The decision on the individual mandate didn’t take that long. If I remember correctly, just a few days after oral arguments.

Both Roberts and Kennedy have some serious dirt that works as good leverage for the Marxists.

[fwdude]

I don’t think these things are ever decided in a few days. Months at the shortest.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Obama thinks he can change anything he wants with the stroke of a pen. Which is one of the most annoying things about him. I stand corrected.

[C210N]

Most decisions are announced in May and June (July if needed), corresponding with the end of the SCOTUS term.

Only Scalia and Thomas believe in the Constitution of limited and enumerated powers anymore. The rest are adherents of the unhindered and unencumbered administrative state that does what it likes when it likes.

And they will prove it again here.

Question! What is the serious dirt you have on Roberts and Kennedy?

RE: Only Scalia and Thomas believe in the Constitution of limited and enumerated powers anymore.

What about Sam Alito?

[fwdude]

Well, on Roberts, rumor has it that his adopted child is not properly a citizen, and is subject to deportation.

Kennedy is just a closet homosexual.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Don’t worry, Chief Justice Roberts will figure out some way to call the mandate a “tax” and thus “constitutional”.
