Hi tkc,

I'm meant to guess an outcome? I don't know what is in the mind of Justice Kennedy.

Here's what I think about the law.

They have to have some constitutional grounds to disqualify it. I don't know what those are. They can't strike a law merely because they don't like a policy.

Tell me the grounds. It is clearly being opposed because Republicans don't like the law on policy grounds. The legal argument is a fig leaf.

In terms of government fiat, there's a fairly close analogy with motor car insurance (requirement to pay a private insurer) and another one with taxes (requirement by government to make a payment). I don't think this is beyond the powers of the government.

Apologies - just missed the edit button and clicked on the star by accident. Count me for one less star on this post.

CF, you think the SC will allow the mandate to stand?
