Thread Name: BS: Court strikes down health care insurance
Subject: RE: BS: Court strikes down health care insurance
Seems as if these decisions keep falling down red state/blue state lines... Three judges in blue states say yes and three in red states say no...

Here's the rub... When this goes to Republican Supreme Court how will they decide, especially if Romney is the presidential candidate because his mandate in Massachusetts would go down with Obama's and then the Tea Party would jump on mandatory car insurance as unconstitutional because the Founding fathers didn't say anything about car insurance... Of course there weren't cars back then but there wasn't health insurance either...

I predict a 5-4 upholding of the provision, non the less... Take Romney out of the equation and 5-4 the other way... Kennedy will join the minority... That's my prediction... That is if the Court takes the case rather than just let it become political football bounced from one court to another to another to another...
