So you don't go in for that co-equal bit?
He can't just sit back and have the story be that Obamacare is unconstitutional. He could have been more eloquent in making the point that a 5-4 decision striking it down would be unprecedented and potentially politically motivated, but the point needed to be made and made now.
As for Hank's interest in how it influences the 9, I don't think it does.

the supreme court will often vote as 1 to preserve its apparent authority. Example: when it ordered Nixon to turn over the tapes (thus letting Hillary and the other unshaven hounds to kill what had been one of our best presidencies) it voted 8-0. There is no way such a close question wasn't more divided, but the Justices knew that voting as one was inmportant. Same thing happened in Brown v. Board.
what is different now is that liberal justices don't give two fucks about the country. See bush v. Gore. HCR should die 9-0. It won't because of politics, but not from the conservsative side.
