One Can Only Hope

According to CBS News, if one can gauge a Supreme Court decision based on the justices’ responses during oral arguments, Obamacare is toast.

Going into these hearings there were a lot of people, particularly a lot of supporters, who believed this would be an easy case – that this court was very unlikely to strike down the individual mandate. But it is clear after these three days, that was just wishful thinking.

This is a really complicated, complex case. And it does appear, right now, anyway, that there is a majority willing to strike down not only the requirement that we all buy health insurance, but perhaps, the entire law. We’ll know for sure by the end of June.

One can only hope that the justices realize that forcing Americans to buy a government approved product under the guise of regulating commerce is a really bad fucking idea, and that allowing the law to stand would pave the way for some very nasty people to do some very nasty things.
