The voters that matter will not care about "... put states and employers into flux as they have billions of dollars already spent on a law that has been either defunded or invalidated." And it is a BFD, both ways though. And by the time SCOTUS comes out w/ its decision Congress won't matter in influencing the election.Absolutely it will hurt Obamas reelection chances. To quote Biden, "This is a BFD" and so will it be if it's found unconstitutional. Obama will be snake bit, it will be a political hay maker as this law was his crown jewel. Couple that with Obamas supposed Harvard Constitutional Professor pedigree and it's devastating. Outside of the pure politics it will also put states and employers into flux as they have billions of dollars already spent on a law that has been either defunded or invalidated. Now Congress has to quickly close the gap temporarily while gearing up to have the entire fight all over again next session regardless who is President. I certainly find entertaining the Obi-One Kenobi spin that claims striking Obamacare will only make it stronger for Obama. They have no idea the depth of darkness Congress has or are purposely ignoring in an attempt to control the narrative.
They do have alternatives... to say they do not is false.
Will a finding of the HC mandate as unconstitutional hurt Obama's relection?
I think this is a valid question. One that even experts in the political field may ask themselves. Yeah I'm sure that Republicans hope that it does and Democrats hope that it won't. But in all honesty will it?
No doubt it's a BFD either way..... either we cross the Rubicon and the United States is no longer the bastion of independence and freedom any longer, or not IMO.The voters that matter will not care about "... put states and employers into flux as they have billions of dollars already spent on a law that has been either defunded or invalidated."

I think it is will not hurt Obama at all. Obama with the help of other liberal democrats did what many of their voters wanted them to do.
If, big IF, the mandate is found unConstitutional, Republicans will be expected to have a solution to the havoc that will cause.
Why would it cause "havoc"? It's not in effect yet.
Nope. If the decision is the mandate is out then the republicans were correct, it was unconstitutional. But now what is your solution Republicans?You're kidding right? The decision comes out in June... that's 5 months worth of hay for Republicans to make, and they will make it.
Because of the other provision in Obamacare that says one cannot be turned down for pre-existing conditions. That means nobody has to get insurance until they get sick. That's not what insurance is about...there's no way a program could be solvent without charging astronomical premiums to those who do pay (well beyond what their risk is) to compensate for that.
My solution is irrelevant. Romney's solution is to repeal Obama Care fully. If the SCOTUS does that for him, it's up to him to provide an alternative and lets face it, there are a lot of alternatives some of which have been proposed since ObamaCare was first put out.Nope. If the decision is the mandate is out then the republicans were correct, it was unconstitutional. But now what is your solution Republicans?
I guess we'll see.

I listen to the Republicans but they spend most of their time berating the Obama plan and when they talk about their plan they use these words: easier, promotes, helps, tax credit, flexibility, rewards, encourages, incentives, etc. without any mechanisms given except that the government will not be doing it, private companies will start doing it if we let them. Just like we are doing now.the better question is... why don't you know about the GOP "solutions" already?... they are out there for public consumption
