Will the Supreme Court rule against Obamacare?

Not a chance. Even the conservative justices don't have the balls to go against The Fraud.

 

[Colonel Hogan]

The challenge to Obamacare will fail for the simple reason that the legal argument is a statutorial nitpick -- that the language of the law as enacted authorizes federal tax credits for health exchanges established by the states, but not for an exchange established by the federal government for those states failing to establish exchanges.

Technically, that argument is correct based on the statutory language, but it is nowhere near as compelling as the previous Constitutional argument which the Court has already rejected. The Court, having endorsed Article 1, Section 8 legislative power as including the use of taxation authority as a valid "regulation of commerce between the states" for the purpose of operating a comprehensive federal healthcare program is not about to undo that principle simply because Congress didn't get the words exactly right.

Nor will the principle be undone if the petitioners win the case. Presumably there would be nothing in the Court's ruling that would prevent Congress from going back and getting the words right on the second try.

Taking one line out of context and trying to hang a legal case on it is pure dumbassery and I don't think even the right wingers on the court can uphold the case.

Sorry, miles, the two wannabes couldn't succinctly put your crap to immediate rest as it should be:

The constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act isn't even before the Supremes this session...

...thus, the non-issue of your ruling "against Obamacare" presently only exists in your partisan, and their wannabe, minds.
