It’s going to be ruled null and void and then Congress would have to start-over from scratch. How about that?
I don't see it happening. What's the judge going to do? Cancel everybody's insurance under Obamacare and leave them without until Congress reworks it? Order insurance companies to reinstate prior policies whether they intended to continue those policies this year or not?
A judge is going to have to provide an alternative if he voids the law. He can't leave people hanging without insurance. He can't void all those contracts without major ramifications to people's health and to government liability.
He can strike down restrictions. He can strike down taxes under the law. But I just don't see how he can void the entire thing. And if he did, SCOTUS would overrule him, or Congress would impeach him.
