Interesting article at Politico (via HotAir) about the possible consequences of the SCOTUS overturning O'BongoCare...
The Supreme Court has yet to rule on President Barack Obama’s health care law, but court watchers already are handicapping the domino effect if it falls.
If the justices knock out key parts of the law or bring down the whole thing, the reverberations could be felt across the legal landscape for generations to come, radically reining in the scope of federal power, according to supporters of the law and others who closely track the high court.
And if the justices decide the individual mandate is a constitutional overreach, these observers say, federal labor and environmental laws could be the next on the firing line.
Yeah, in my dreams.
Interesting read. I have to look at this and similar articles as the liberal media trying to influence the court ("Oh, please don't strike down O'BongoCare! The world will just end! Please, believe us when we say this...we are only trying to prevent the end of the world as we know it!) any way they can...again, carrying the water for the Democrats.
Of course, it's absolute nonsense. But you should read the whole thing if for no other reason than to fully realize how scared the left is right now.
I truly hope that the SCOTUS strikes down the whole thing. I am not confident that they will but I hope they do. The leftists, OTOH, seem to have done a complete 180 in their thinking. As recently as last Monday they believed that O'BongoCare would be upheld my a lopsided majority and now they are totally convinced that it will go down in flames.
This article is emblematic of their true inner thinking now.
Again, I have no idea if O'BongoCare will live or die at the end of this session of the SCOTUS but I will enjoy the mental anguish of the left for the next couple of months.
