State rights..

I believe what he is referring to is Corporations being able to donate to political campaigns, personally I don't see why the Supreme Court would overturn something like that but hey, in my eyes that battle is far from over.

You would be correct. The SC said political contributions were a form of free speech and, therefore, protected under the bill of rights.

Now about the Supreme Court shooting down this healthcare bill, if they choose to not rule based on law and rather their beef with Obama I'd tend to think that would be abuse of power.

And I would agree with you 100% but they have done it recently. Remember the SC threw out the death penalty sentence for 2 people in LA, I believe, saying that it was cruel and unusual. The basis for that was strictly ideological though. Here is a link to an article about it.

If the laws legitimately state that this is unconstitutional then nothing else can be said but the law would change toward a single payer system guaranteed.

I agree with you that they will try, but I dont think it would make it through the Senate. At least 3 Senators have a serious black eye already from trying to get through the legislation they just passed, I dont think they will be able to push through a FAR more expensive, and FAR more intrusive bill.

Your whole response I can't really argue or disagree, for me this whole thing is a learning experience in the legislative process.
