Essentially it depends on how they rule and deep they cut and how it's all worded.

I think it's a pretty big stretch to think that this one alone will lead to the dismantling of social programs paid for through taxes. If you want to panic, go ahead. You may turn out to be correct; I don't think so, I think this is all hysteria.

I am actually hoping for the mandate to be struck and the rest to remain, then it becomes a requirement for other funding to occur, and it gives Dems something really strong to run on, . . . remember almost 70% of citizens wanted the public option, they can run on that as the solution to the courts' decision. . . . just my thoughts.
