I think what Nolagirl99 is pointing out is that this federal court judge brilliantly used the SC reasoning in the OSHA case, to block the federal employee mandate. He's boxing them in with their own language and reasoning. The SC is now bound by the doctrine of stare decisis, i.e., case law precedent. To rule otherwise would to contradict their own recent opinion when the ink isn't even dry on it.
Do you think SCOTUS will uphold today’s decision?
I’m not as concerned with the Circuit seeing the makeup of the states.

Much better explanation! Thanks
