I love how you whine about the progressive justices upholding liberal laws, yet in the same breath pretty much admit that the conservative side of the court is out to rule against any and all liberal based policy when they can.The attorney arguing the case for the Obama Administration denied it was a tax and tried to justify it under the Commerce Clause. Four justices (the always vote for their party Democrats) agreed. Four Conservatives said BS. Roberts-trying to be clever, rejected the commerce clause nonsense but held it was a TAX. well guess what, now its no longer a tax. So it looks like you have four CC expansionists who will support it. Alito, Thomas will still oppose it. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are likely to oppose it, and Roberts position no longer has the one plank he needed to support the AHCA.
You're dreaming if you think the SC is going to strike down the AHCA.
