Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 26th, 2012 1:29 PM Author: White fantasy-prone background story Odds of mandate being upheld have to be greater than 25%, I think. Good bet? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1979830&forum_id=2#20961607) |
Date: June 26th, 2012 1:30 PM Author: laughsome ticket booth wrinkle Better make sure you know the distinction between the mandate being upheld and "ObamaCare" generally being upheld, brother.
Chance of the former is close to 0. Chance of the latter (in part) is close to 100. |

Date: June 26th, 2012 1:32 PM Author: White fantasy-prone background story No way that the mandate being upheld is close to 0 probability. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1979830&forum_id=2#20961630) |

Date: June 26th, 2012 1:34 PM Author: laughsome ticket booth wrinkle Have you been paying attention at all? Did you hear the very first day of oral argument?
Clement shit all over Virrilli to the point where Ginsburg had to literally answer questions FOR him. Kennedy and Roberts, the only votes that are even remotely in question either way, came out strongly and immediately in opposition to the mandate in their tone.
Kennedy literally asked "isn't this changing the fundamental nature of the relationship of the federal government to the people?"
lol @ u |

Date: June 26th, 2012 1:41 PM Author: White fantasy-prone background story I listened to every day of oral arg and am familiar with all the commentary. I still think Kennedy's turnaround toward the end of oral arg indicates some willingness to uphold the mandate. Obviously he came out strong early ("aren't you creating commerce in order to regulate, etc") in order to show he was testing the position.
Fwiw, two of my law profs (one who clerked for Kennedy and one who clerked for Scalia) both agreed after oral args that the mandate would still almost definitely be upheld, likely 6-3 or 7-2.
Odds are definitely way better than 0 and I think way better than 25. |

a majority of the public both wants obamacare to be struck down or repealed and thinks it is unconstitutional |

Date: June 26th, 2012 5:13 PM Author: chrome impressive ratface resort It's clearly not unconstitutional, Thursday's expected outcome notwithstanding.
I think it's plainly constitutional under the tax power, despite the DOJ's ready abdication of this position. If taxing someone more or less depending on their purchase of some perceived socially-beneficial good is unconstitutional, then a whole host of completely uncontroversial tax deductions and credits are also unconstitutional.
It's also clear that the commerce power applies here. While people are strongly wary of the government requiring a purchase, we are quite comfortable with the government requiring a sale (Hearts of Atlanta), prohibiting a purchase (Raich), or prohibiting a sale (Wickard) under the commerce power. And textually, the Commerce Clause permits REGULATION (making no distinction between prohibitions and requirements) of COMMERCE (making no distinction between purchases and sales). The extreme caution and nervousness of the American public, while perhaps rightly placed, is a policy consideration, not a constitutional one. |

Date: June 28th, 2012 11:09 AM Author: bateful corn cake reading party fees are very small.
Intrade charges a $4.99 monthly fee. If you do not have any funds in your account the fee is not charged. The fee is debited from your account balance on the first day of each month. If, for example, you have opened your account on January 10th, you will not be charged your first monthly fee until February 1st. This fee encourages and provides for an unlimited number of predictions. There are no transaction fees or commission charges other than the monthly fee of US$4.99.
