12. That's my feeling on it. Might be best (in long run) if SC overturns it.

On Minnesota Public Radio's first hour of "The Daily Circuit" this morning, the guests were talking about recent court decisions when they felt that the majority of the legal community felt the SC sidestepped the law and ruled on the side of politics (the Bush v. Gore and Citizens' United). One commentator said of the 17 decisions on ACA to this point that all but two could be easily predicted based on the politics and backgrounds of the justices.

And as I understand it, they simply cannot rule on the part pertaining to inclusion - if they rule against, they rule against the entire ACA. With the ruling coming out in June, that would (IMO) kickstart the progressive base for November.
