Prediction: Obamacare Mandate Slapped Down 7-2

The real question is whether or not the Court will “sever” the provision from the rest of the law.  I predict a robust smackdown of the mandate itself, combined with a weasel-worded upholding of the rest of the law with a shoddily justified severance.  I predict that the court will decline to comment on whether a law passed through reconciliation with the aid of a fraudulent neutral accounting is a law at all.  Honk if you know what I’m talking about.
