as healthcare gets worse and worse in this country, that the American people in a large majority would realize just how bad the decision would be to get rid of healthcare reform, and that they will blame the Supreme Court for it. He's going to be there for a long time, so he will eventually get the blame especially since he's the Chief Justice, not to mention the stain of the Supreme Court being fully seen as a political tool.

Then again, I'm not optimistic that Right Wingers will suddenly care about what others think of them and about doing the right thing, I'm not betting on it. I can just be hopeful.
