House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: Obamacare is "iron-clad constitutionally”


My guess is SCOTUS is getting ready to fire an armor-piercing round at Pelosi's "iron-clad" Obamacare. They will likely strike down the mandate, but leave the rest of the law as a mess for Congress to clean up.
(Healthwatch) — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said Democrats are confident their healthcare law will survive its day before the Supreme Court.
The California Democrat said the law is legally “ironclad” and supporters are “in pretty good shape” just days ahead of the high court’s three-day examination of the law.
“We knew that what we were doing when we passed this bill was iron-clad constitutionally,” Pelosi said during an event in the Capitol staged by Democrats to celebrate the two-year anniversary of the law. “What happens in the courts is another matter, but we believe that we’re in pretty good shape.
“I have faith in the courts and I have faith in the bill,” she added.
