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.

If the law is thrown out and people are kicked off of their healthcare insurance, it will make Obama’s case that reform was necessary. Of course insurance companies would probably wait until after the elections to eject their customers with preexisting conditions.
