The future of Obamacare could be decided on Friday, when nine justices of the Supreme Court meet in private.
The outcome of their deliberations is anybody's guess. If you support the law, that should worry you -- and make you angry.
As a court spokesperson confirmed, the justices are following their custom
Friday by holding a private conference. The usual purpose of these
meetings is to discuss cases that the court just heard on Wednesday, so
that would mean talking about King v. Burwell
-- the dispute over whether the federal government may continue to
provide subsidized health insurance to people living in two-thirds of
the states. The justices will sit around a table, without even their
clerks present. The chief justice will speak first, and then each
associate justice will have a turn, going by seniority. Then, the
justices will indicate how they intend to vote, again in the same order.
Their decisions are not always final. It takes weeks for
justices to write their opinions and, very occasionally, a justice will
change his or her mind in that process. But more often than not, the
result of the Friday conference dictates the final outcome of the case.
