1. So is this a "Joe effect" or are they more reasonable than we fear

[Celerity]

5. Kavanaugh and Roberts, per Williams, will be the ones to join the 3 liberals and block wiping it out

[exboyfil]

6. Georgia effect

Would the SCs so blatantly signal their intent in questioning. It is just like Roberts finding different justification for the last time. No upside in overturning it either then or now.

I bet when the decision comes down assuming one or both of those Senate seats are held will eliminate the ACA funding vehicles that cost rich folks dollars. That is really the only thing they care about.

8. Ah thanks

2. Too bad he's not on SCOTUS.

I'll wait until they rule.

4. he said Kavanaugh and Roberts will join the 3 liberals, he went through it in fairly deep depth

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh seemed to express the view that if the court were to strike down the provision of the law mandating the purchase of health insurance, the rest of the law should be allowed to survive.

"Looking at our severability precedents, it does seem fairly clear that the proper remedy would be to sever the mandate provision and leave the rest of the act in place, the provisions regarding preexisting conditions and the rest," Kavanaugh said.''
