Supreme Court - “Your Guess Is As Good As Mine”

Steve Huntley, a Chicago Tribune reporter, ends a piece entitled “Only Legal Gymnastics Can Save ObamaCare,” with this line “Your Guess Is As Good As Mine.”

And mine is as good as his. Anything you read about a Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare is sheer speculation.

Only the shadow knows how this thing is going to come out, and she’s not talking. The news gives no clues. Polls In Florida in the district that signed up the most enrollees, a Democratic plus, says it will vote Republican.
