I agree with you about the 5-4.  The key vote being Kennedy sided with sanity.   

 

 

 

But I was listening to Rush who read someone else’s prediction on the case and he thought it would be 6-3 for obamacare With Roberts siding on the side of insanity (but for a good reason)

 

 

 

If Kennedy makes it clear he is going to side with the nuts then the nuts win and nothing can be done about it.  But if Roberts sides with them too it makes the court look less partisan and more importantly it gives Roberts the right to write the opinion and in that he can say Yes the government has a right to force citizens to buy healthcare but they do not have the right to force citizens to buy anything else.  In this he would at least minimize the damage.

 

 

 

I hope you are right, actually I wish that all the justices would vote against it except for the three witches… wise Latina, the dried up old prune and the cackling Kagan  But that would mean hoping Breyer would side with sanity and I might have had better odds with the megamillions J
