I dont think they will change it much if there are other examples of the government acting the exact same way. If this is somehow unique and overstepping government powers of the past then its possible conservative justices might oppose it.

Jeffrey Toobin (CNN legal analyst) described today as a "total trainwreck for the Obama administration" and now predicts the mandate will be struck down. This is after spending the last year defending it and basically laughing at the idea it might be unconstitutional.

in most cases the court sides with precedent. Yuki what do you think honestly?

Precedent says they uphold it at lesat 7-2.


Doesn't mean they will. But if they don't it'll be pretty embarassingly partisan.

Well I think if precedent is there then they will hold it up but perhaps by a slim margin

Thanks

I turned on the news while I was cooking, first time I've watched the "news" in months, years probably.

God damn do they have some stupid reporters. I'm amazed at how horrible CNN is these days, guys on there wouldn't know their ass from a hole in the ground. The guest "expert" they had on was obviously disgusted with their legal guy and his lack of understanding and his crazy conclusions based upon snippets of conversation. MSNBC was just as bad.

No wonder people in this country are so god damn stupid.

The SCOTUS is a partisan republican arm of the government. This is going down in flames. Duh.
