While you're putting up the poll, I'll answer by saying I think the entire thing will get thrown out. SCOTUS is smart enough to know without the mandate, it would fail, so trash it and be done with it.
You can't have a mandate to buy a product and it be constitutional. They better drive a stake through ACA, otherwise Obama will resurect it and put it on IV bags.
I'm thinking the court is going to tread very carefully around this one. There are already a lot of very powerful people in the country who think the country is facing a constitutional crisis with this clearly partisan court.
Just like in the early days of the "New Deal" when the court was shooting down FDR's measured wholesale the court began to come under severe political pressure not anly from FDR but from the people as well. This court has pretty much shot it's bolt with the Citizens united decision. It's widely seen not only in the USA but by the world as one of the worst decisions ever made in American history.
Even though this court is clearly in the pockets of big business I think many will be surprised when Obamacare is largely upheld in the decision. If not, they risk making this court a mockery and the chief justice has shown that he cares very much about the historical opinion that will be placed upon HIS court. It will take a lot to live down citizens and as we have already seen with the Az decision the court is in no mood to go way out on any more limbs.
The grand court will do what it is instructed to do by those that installed them...
You believe they will vote 5 - 4 to throw it out? No you don't, but you want to tell us that those appointed by left leaners will vote like that and the others won't. How many lefties does that make?
