Ruth Bader Ginsburg predicts 'sharp disagreement' among justices - POLITICO.com

Ruth Bader Ginsburg predicts 'sharp disagreement' among justices - POLITICO.com: "Careful not to tip her hand on the court’s ruling — expected in the next two weeks — Ginsburg described the oral arguments in the case as unprecedented for the number of “press conferences, prayer circles, protests and counterprotests” that occurred on the courthouse steps."


Ginsburg noted that one ACA-related question the court must decide is whether the whole law must fall if the individual mandate is unconstitutional — “or may the mandate be chopped, like a head of broccoli, from the rest of it?”

This could just be bad reporting, but, there's no reason the court has to decide the severability issue, if the mandate is constitutional. Seems to me like she's implying the mandate will be held unconstitutional.
