NYT says the same. It's worth considering that conservative judges aren't necessarily inherently evil.
Listened to the arguments this morning. My prediction is they declare the mandate unconstitutional; but sever it and say the rest of the law stands. I would bet the liberal wing plus Roberts state the whole law should stand. Maybe one or two of Thomas, Alito and/or Barrett declare the whole law unconstitutional. I’d guess it’s 7-2 for it to remain minus the mandate.
According to NBC' Supreme Court Reporter, Pete Williams, from the questions asked at the hearing today, it looks like killing ACA in its entirety is unlikely. Roberts and, shockingly, Kavanaugh asked questions that strongly supported allowing ACA to stand. Even Alito asked questions and made statements that made it appear he might side with keeping ACA by saying Congress had the chance to void the entire law but chose not to do that.
I am incredibly, pleasantly surprised and hopeful. Pete Williams seemed to interpret this morning's proceedings very positively.
If you are surprised the you aren’t paying attention. The “SCOTUS gonna repeal ACA!!!” was always a scare tactic to get people to vote dem.
So you sayin' Texas isn't trying their darndest to repeal the ACA? Cause they are, i assure you
I don't need assurance of that. But if you need assurance that the SCOTUS isn't going to strike down ACA then you've bought in to the Dem's scare tactics.

CH, here's a question for you. If you haven't game-planned for this, I bet you can get the answer very easily.
I understand there will be a lot moving parts to making this concept a reality, but can Biden legally create and enforce an Executive Order to lower or totally eliminate the age requirement for Medicare?

I think the eligibility requirements, including age, are baked into the law.
Sounds like Kavanaugh will be the swing vote on severing.
Party of personal responsibility my ass.
