“If Justice Ginsburg is talking about “salvage”, I would take that as a sign that the entire bill is in big, big trouble. “
That’s a good point. The defense of the bill was feeble.
“I would not be surprised to see another one of the liberals concur with the majority at least in part (specifically with regard to the insurance mandate).”
who? I think they were trying too hard to help the Obama side’s case to go that way. they were trying to put the arguments in the mouth of the solicitor general.
Based on this, I’d wager 3 will vote to toss the whole bill, Thomas, Alito, Scalia.
Roberts and Kennedy 50/50 toss it all or just the mandate.
4 votes to keep the bill.
5/4 BYE BYE OBAMACARE......ALL OF IT.
