Does the White House actually think it would be good for it to be struck down? Or at least, would it be objectively good for the Democrats going into next November?
Mickey’s a smart guy, but he’s too clever by half here, I think. I agree with most of the commenters. It’s a torpedo below his water line that can’t be undone now, and if it’s demonstrated to be unconstitutional as well, it just makes it that much worse, politically.
I agree with you. That makes it all the more likely that the Obama-team believe that it will help them … after all, they’ve got a pretty proven track record on being wrong about everything.
If the SC rules against the Obami it just proves that the court is in the hands of reactionaries how will stop at nothing in their efforts to slow the revolution.
