ObamneyCare© meets SCOTUS

One supposes that we'd be remiss in not remarking on this news:

"The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a challenge to President Obama's signature law on health care ... The challenge in the case, brought by 26 states out of Florida, is based on the constitutionality of the individual mandate in the Patient Accountability and Affordable Care Act, which requires that all Americans purchase health insurance."

The case at hand is the "biggie" comprising 26 of the 58 states, and which argues that the (Evil) Individual Mandate is unconstitutional.

Dunh.

At this point, all we know is that the Supremes have agreed to hear the case, presumably next Spring. Given the Court's current make-up, and recognizing that IANAL, it's anybody's guess how they'll eventually rule.

Shall we set up a pool?
