Obamacare’s fate will almost certainly be decided by the Supreme Court in 2012, either in June or shortly after November’s election. And neither conservatives nor President Obama can be sure whether they want a decision before or after the election. There are more than 30 Obamacare cases at some stage of litigation nationwide. They present a variety of constitutional challenges to Obama’s signature legislation, including Section 1501 — the infamous individual mandate that as of 2014 Americans must buy health insurance.
