With help from “The Supremes”, I’m sure Obama can get it lowered to 20 hours.

Of course that will require that the minimum wage be increased to $20/hr. in order to maintain a "living wage".

Heck, Since SCOTUS now uses the spirit in which the law was written to make rulings, I wouldn't be surprised if there is no work week anymore, just employment. It wouldn't even shock me if Roberts finds some pretzel logic that bestows insurance coverage on ex-employees, as well.

What I expect to see, regardless of the exact numbers they settle on, is that many business will cut hours back to whatever they need to in order to avoid paying benefits. Employees reduced from 39 hours to 20 hours (or whatever the numbers might be) will then work 2 jobs. In fact, it’s a lot easier to work 2 20-hour/week jobs than to work a 30 hour/week job and find something else for 10 hours.
