if the decision comes down to one justice, the mob can influence how that judge decides pretty easily
I wonder what this will do to the president’s command that companies have to provide free products to people.
I pray it does get struck down.
You’re going WAY out on a limb to think you can predict anything based on questioning. As Forbes pointed out, the Constitutionalist judges in 2009 questioned vehemently during the Voting Rights Act case, making everyone think an overturn was coming. It didn’t. The Citizens United case basically gutted the whole McCain Feingold law, yet no one saw that coming based on the courtroom debate.
Don’t get ahead of yourself. There is NO way to tell what’s gonna happen here.
:: How can the government create a market for the purpose of enabling it to regulate that market? ::
Bingo. Props for Kennedy.
My personal opinion of this, is that if they do not turn this over and kill this garbage bill, America is done. Completely and utterly done. Where a government can demand that citizens do what it says. Where government rules. Why the heck did we fight the Brits for our freedom if we are going to become subjects to the socialists here in our own country. If the Supremes do not turn this over, America is totally socialist. The days of freedom are gone. We are prisoners in our own land.
It means nothing and just gives cover to the pusillanimity of the judiciary
.
Have learned past 3+ years.... judicial’ tuff-talk’, does not mean tuff action.
Agressive questioning could also mean he wants the administration to do a better job so his ass will be covered.
I fear that the 4 conservative justices will do exactly as expected and the liberal justices likewise. Kennedy will muck it up by giving some sort of 50-50 decision, where he will partially agree with both sides, which will basically allow the left to win. Sandra Day O’Connor did something similar in the Webster case in 1989. This case would have overturned Roe v Wade, but she was the swing vote, and gave some namby pamby opinion which basically kept Roe v Wade intact. It was at first heralded a victory for our side, but in the long run it did nothing. Kennedy at that time voted with the conservatives.
