The decision is supposed to be based on constitutionality, not popularity.

Did the congress and the president have the right to pass a law requiring folks to buy health insurance?

It's already done......in Massachussetts and bears candidate Romneys signature.

If it's a violation of an American citizens individual, constitutional rights for the federal government to require me to have insurance, then how is it constitutional for the same to be done to American citizens in Massachussetts by Mitt Romney? Apparently it's constitutional when a Republican does it.

That being said, the SCOTUS is majority conservative. Therefore the constitution may very well be twisted to meet their agenda anyways. So, I kind of agree with you. It probably will be struck down.
