Is the Supreme Court just a puppet of the President?

I have often said that elections have consequences. One of those consequences is that Presidents get to name Supreme Court Justices.
The current make up of this Court is 5 conservative and 4 liberal judges.
This Monday the Supreme Court will begin to determine if it should look into the Constitutionality of Obama care. It has the option of delaying any decision until 2015, after the program has started, or to decide on it now.
President Obama's recent Supreme Court appointment has disqualified herself from this decision (to her credit) because she was involved in its creation. This means that Conservatives outnumber Liberals on this decision 5 to 3.
Strict interpretation of the Constitution should make this a slam dunk against Obama. To do otherwise would give the Federal government the power to make us do anything it wants us to do, thereby relegating us to just another third world, no freedom country.
If the Supreme Court decides FOR Obama care or even if it postpones any decision to the future we have our answer as to whether or not we are being hoodwinked by our government.
