Kennedy could also vote that it's Constitutional. I put him in the "unconstitutional" group because he's been restrictive of the Commerce Clause in the past, but this wouldn't be the first time that he's been inconsistent on an issue. I think Breyer, Ginsburg, Stevens, Thomas and Scalia are pretty much guaranteed to come down where I have them.

good to know.
oh and there are members on the supreme court who would disagree with you, but apparently an armchair constitutional scholar such as yourself knows better  |
There are also members of the Supreme Court who would disagree with you. I'm not sure how that proves any point other than that this is going to be a contested issue with a lot of smart people (along with a lot of not so smart people) on either side.
