until you find out that a George W. Bush appointee in one of the lower courts, despite harshly questioning the government, ultimately voted to uphold it. My guess is a 5-4 decision or even possibly a 6-3 decision to uphold it. In my unprofessional opinion, I think that SCOTUS is going to be hard-pressed to dump the entire law. Mandate maybe but that hasn't taken effect and can be fixed.
