The same Supreme Court justices whom President Obama blasted during his State of the Union address this year may ultimately decide the fate of his crowning achievement..............

Not necessarily so. By the time it reaches the Supremes, there will probably be one or possibly two new justices, appointed by Obama.

Yes, but if it is Stevens and Ginsburg - the likely two - the makeup of the court won't change at all. It will still be a 5-4 court.

However, if Obama and his thugs bump off Alito, Roberts, Thomas or Scalia, we're in trouble........

If its Stevens and Ginsburg [as likely] that leave - Obama would just be replacing liberal votes with liberal votes ...

And the above is not necessarily so either.

The USSC could choose to use it's powers under Article III, Section 2 to declare Original Jurisdiction and decide these suits this summer...or even sooner.

Whether they will CHOOSE to use this power is something only they could know...
