The legal attacks on President Obama's health care law aren't over. But their chances of crippling or killing it just got a lot worse.

The Supreme Court turned back the latest of those attacks on Thursday, the second time in less than three years that the justices upheld key features of Obama's signature domestic policy. In doing so, even some lawyers backing those attacks said Chief Justice John Roberts sent a strong signal that those looking to dismantle the health law should probably look elsewhere.

"At this point, the Chief Justice has said we're done here," said Josh Blackman, a conservative legal blogger and professor at South Texas College of Law. "The battle over Obamacare isn't over, but today the Chief Justice signaled it won't go through the courts."

Obama echoed that point Thursday morning. The Affordable Care Act, he said, "is here to stay."

Plenty of challenges remain, though few are broad enough to cripple the health law even if they succeed. Republican lawmakers have sued over delays in requiring employers to provide insurance. Some Indiana schools say it's unconstitutional to force them to provide coverage. Another suit says Congress violated a little-known section of the Constitution about which chamber must introduce tax bills first. Others challenge the requirement that insurance cover contraception.
