How Will Supreme Court Swing on Health Care? Ask Anthony Kennedy

With federal Judge Roger Vinson ruling that the health care law backed by President Barack Obama is unconstitutional, the matter clearly appears to be headed to the Supreme Court of the United States -- making Justice Anthony Kennedy, once again, the man in the middle.

Look at the courts makeup. The conservative block -- namely Justices Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito -- will almost certainly back Vinson and oppose the law as unconstitutional. The liberals on the bench -- Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan -- will, in all likelihood, support the law.

The man in the middle is going to be -- yet again -- Anthony Kennedy. The fate of the law, and the future of American politics, is in his hands.
