I think Kennedy will switch sides and it will be 5-4 in favor of severing that finding from the rest of the bill.

Yet...I have read that the law is missing any sort of severability clause...which means if the mandate is declared unconstitutional the whole mess goes in the dumpster. Which is it?

Severability was supposed to be among the arguments. So the Supremes will decide if it can or cannot be severed.

With the court being 4 liberals, 4 conservatives and 1 moderate/swing vote (Kennedy), the fate of Obamacare rests on him. It could be said that Justice Kennedy is the most powerful man in the country, due to the split in the court.

We need to be praying for Justice Kennedy that he sees reason and votes to rule Obamacare unconstitutional!
