19 of 21 constitutional law experts say the mandate should be upheld. It should be a slam dunk for Obama. If the decision is even close I think it's fair to say we have a hack court.

Immigration case decided. AZ law pre-empted in part but check your papers part of the law is still alive. 5-3 decision.

Doesnt appear to be a "partisan" decision. Kennedy, Roberts, Ginsburg, Breyer and Sotomayor were in the majority. Scalia, Thomas and Alito concurred in part and dissented in part.
If the Court was as partisan as some suggest then the Sheriff's office in Arizona would be celebrating instead of complaining on CNN right now.
Those look like primarily legal arguments, not policy arguments to me. So the lack of partisanship should not come as a surprise.

Well, the three most conservative judges were on the side of upholding certain parts of the law.
It's partisan in allowing the worst of the law to stand.
