Has Obamacare doomed America?

If Obamacare has another year to metastasize, it may well be impossible to eradicate the disease without killing or at least badly maiming the patient. In fact, it is conceivable that the DOJ will make that very argument when the case finally arrives before the Court, betting that the justices will be loath to strike down Obamacare -- or even the individual mandate -- knowing that such a ruling would create chaos in the midst of an election year. And it is by no means obvious that such a ruling would work against Obama's bid for reelection. It isn't hard to imagine the President including the Court in "the enemies of change" against whom he will inevitably run in 2012. The eleven words, "The petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment is denied," represent worse news than most people realize.
