Ya ya.

SCOTUS is not inclined to toss out entire laws, but to instead find any/all contortions needed to preserve the law in question to the greatest extent possible. If they can find _any_ way the “individual mandate” could be construed as legal, they’ll find & implement it.

Notice that the Heller case only went so far as to allow minimal possession in the home - not declaring "'right to keep and bear' _means_ 'right to keep and bear'" and eviscerating all "regulations" in question. The court is still mostly the same. If they remove the "individual mandate", expect an "individual mandate"-shaped legal hole will remain - not absence of Obamacare outright.
