I guess the Sackett decision (a 9-0 smackdown of the EPA) got my hopes up that some of the libs might see the light when the government’s case simply doesn’t hold up. I look forward to the pretzel-logic opinions of those who think the federal government can force a citizen to purchase health care but not an electric car, limburger cheese, etc.

I wonder if the very act of trying to write such an opinion without sounding like a dunce or a shill might swing a liberal justice over to the “kill the bill” side.

Let's hope. It's been said that Clarence Thomas is the intellectual heavyweight on the court. Maybe his opinion will be so strong in its commitment to the constitution that, as you said, a lib will swing over to the right side.

When I heard the Sackett decision and it was unanimous and there was another (I'm having trouble remembering..it was a property rights case IIRC) that was unanimous, my hopes didn't raise but my suspicions did.
