Maybe. But only if the people remain in ignorance of their rights and liberties.

BTW even if it might help Obama and the Democrats, who cares? This law is unconstitutional and needs to be struck down.
On thy nearly everyone agrees. The mandate was one of the most corrupt pieces of legislation I've ever seen. It was passes solely because of the Democrats desire to pass ANYTHING so as not to allow the GOP to claim victory.
Seeing it struck down isn't only the correct action, but it is probably the single best outcome Obama can hope for. If it stands, he'll have to defend it. If it goes down, he can just move on.
Colonel CueBall Speaks....telegraphs Democrat plans.
(CNN) - While the Obama administration fights to protect the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, Democratic strategist and CNN contributor James Carville said a Supreme Court overruling may not be such a bad thing for the president, politically.
"I think this will be the best thing that has ever happened to the Democratic Party," Carville said Tuesday on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer."
He added: "You know, what the Democrats are going to say, and it is completely justified, 'We tried, we did something, go see a 5-4 Supreme Court majority'."

You and I both know that for good or ill, politics doesn't work like this. If the Mandate is struck down in June it's a dead issue by July. Continuing to harp on it will make Romney look like he's trying to deflect from whatever IS an issue by that point and backfire on Mitt.BTW even if it might help Obama and the Democrats, who cares?

Oh, he can try. But I think he still has to defend it. Heck, the bill has been nicknamed Obamacare.
And sincerely, if it goes down, I hope they wrap it around his neck and let his drag his political career with it.
Liberty must be restored.
Hey dopey, it's an obvious observation. Conservative court takes away health care for children 26 and under and preexisting conditions as Tea Party Lunatics cheer?
mana from heaven

At the time the law was passed, most Americans were opposed to Obamacare but as Obama said once Americans understand what's in law and how it will effect them, they will support it. That's exactly what's happening. In a CNN poll release yesterday, opposition has dropped to 50%, down nearly 10 points from the time the law was passed. Only 30% wanted to see the law overturned.Most people are saying that obama will use a loss to attack the Supreme Court and ask for 4 more years so he could appoint new Justices.
Except for one thing. The health care bill was hugely, hugely unpopular. If obama says that if he gets four more years he'd pack the court, that may be a signal to a lot of people to vote against him.
He already looks like he's going to blame their lawyer for the loss. As much responsiblity as he's run from so far, this might be the last straw.

I believe if the law is overturned, it will boast Obama's chance of reelection who is already strongly favored over Romney. For 30 million Americans looking forward to getting health insurance in 2014, the overturn of the law will not sit well at all. For Democrats who did not support the law because it wasn't a single payer plan, the overturn of the law will raise new hopes. Obama can use the healthcare issue to distract voters from the slow economic recovery.
So, let me get this straight, people don't want it, yet it should be passed anyway because eventually we'll convince you to like it?
My God that's scary.
Half the people against Ocare want more, single payer. You are sorely misled, and so are they. Waiting another 20 years is insanity.

The point of a Representative Democracy isn't to pass popular laws.

Correct.
The point was to pass laws that were within your scope. However the 17th really hurt that structure.
Health Care was never in the scope of the Federal Government.

You'll be surprised to learn I agree. It should be handled at the State level.
People didn't want it because every Rightwing politician, talk show host, blog, newspaper, and columnist in the country was saturating the media with negative commits, lies, and all manner of distortions.

30 million people with no insurance are learning that they will have insurance in 2014. Millions of low middle income tax payers are learning they will see tax credits in 2014 to help them pay for health insurance. Plus people are learning about many other benefits such as free preventive care for items such as Mammograms, physical exams, colonoscopies, vaccinations, support for wellness programs in the workplace, new FDA procedure to bring more generics drugs to market faster, abstinence-only education, limitations on insurance company overhead and profits, home visits to expecting families, higher hospital reimbursement rates for hospitals that reduce the spread of disease, etc....
