the liberal members, of course, are solidly one ideological block. the question is how to appeal to and pursuade the more literal leaning members.

This is almost certainly going to be a five to four vote. I amuses me the way the Obama administration goes back and forth in defining the payments for health insurance as either a tax or a mandated fee depending on what suits their purpose.
Obama swore not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $200,000 so that means he has to pretend its not a tax. On the other hand his representative is going to argue to the Supreme Court that it is a tax, justified by the interstate commerce clause.
The Obama administration is literally holding two mutually exclusive positions and the press ignores it.
