re: #11 Simply Sarah

Hard to say. A broad ruling striking the entire law could have all sorts of political fallout. I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of it energizing the left more than the right, but it could easily work the other way too. I’m not sure it would help the public’s already less than amazing opinion of the Court, either.

Best possible outcome: law struck down -> galvanizing effect -> 2nd term plus 60 reliable votes -> single payer healthcare
