I hope it gets ruled unconstitutional and we get the public option we needed.
That probably won't happen though.

The public option would have been a no-brainer if Democrats would just agree to cap government contributions. Theoretically it's supposed to act like a private insurance company therefore it shouldn't need a constant influx of government money.
Fine by me. Have $10 billion of startup money and never come back for more. When your little experiment fails don't whine for more money. You're not getting it.

They did. They government was going to provide startup money and that was it. The option would be self-sufficient.

I still have some faith in the supreme court. So I am predicting 6-3 or 7-2 upholding it.
If they rule against it it will really just show we have a third political branch whenever the decision actually matters. People will stop looking at Bush v. Gore as an outlier and realize we are back to the days of an overtly political court, like we had in the 1920s-40s.

8 of the 9 votes are foregone conclusions. It all depends on whether Anthony Kennedy's coin comes up heads, or tails.

I don't think that's true. Thomas is the only clear vote against based on past decision. Alito and Roberts haven't had a major commerce clause case on the supreme court, so it's hard to say. Scalia should vote for obamacare unless he decides to be a total hypocrite.
The 4 liberals will vote for it because it agrees with their basic jurisprudence, as should Kennedy based on his past decisions. That's five votes, and they should get Scalia and probably Roberts as well at the very least if those two don't decide to sell out to political pressure.

How can any vote be a forgone conclusion?

It actually may wind up a tie because obviously Clarence Thomas will be recusing himself from this case due to clear conflict of interest (ie his wife has been actively campaigning against the law since like forever).
