Don't get me wrong, I've no naive faith in the purity of S Ct justices (or much else to do with the law) - I'm 60, and have practiced law for 30 years and counting. But, notwithstanding the tenor of the questioning, I'd still make it 50/50 as to the individual mandate. Which is another way of saying: I have no idea where Kennedy (and to a lesser extent, Roberts) is going to end up, nor do I think it'll be all that obvious even after oral argument concludes. One thing I keep remembering is that supposedly, one of the reasons why Kagan was appointed was that she had a talent for schmoozing/swaying ideological opponents; we may find out.BHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991272246814476124noreply@blogger.com
