Hard to call .
The SCOTUS no longer holds themselves to the constitution . Not less than 3 of them are entirely agenda driven , constitution be damned .
So in comes down to Do 5 judges still follow the constitution ?

The Supreme Court will hand down its Obamacare ruling during the week of June 25, and Nostradamus himself would hesitate to make a prediction about the particulars of what will inevitably be a controversial decision. Nonetheless, it's difficult to imagine that the Court will leave what Justice Scalia called "the heart" of the law standing. That the individual mandate is in genuine peril was made abundantly clear during last March's oral arguments, when Justice Kennedy asked the Solicitor General, "Do you not have a heavy burden of justification to show authorization under the Constitution?" Coming from Kennedy, widely considered the Court's sole remaining swing vote, that query completely unmanned the law's advocates.
In a recent New York Times/CBS poll showed that 68 percent of Americans want the Court to overturn all or part of the health care law.

So, we'll see who's got at least some integrity & who's simply agenda driven.

Let's say an unconstitutional law is passed. Rights are violated. The SCOTUS overturns the law. What price do the lawmakers who voted for the bill pay? None. BS, plain and simple. If we are to have honest government, there must be sanctions for unconstitutional actions.
