Although we the mere voters won’t be privy to the outcome until June, the nine justices of the Supreme Court will convene in a private conference today to cast their votes: After months of anticipation, thousands of pages of briefs and more than six hours of arguments, the justices will vote on the fate of [...]
Today’s oral arguments before the Supreme Court focused on the constitutionality of the individual mandate, and it didn’t go well for the Obama administration. CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin described it as follows: This was a train wreck for the Obama administration. This law looks like it’s going to be struck down … if I had [...]
Want 90 minutes of rollicking fun? Go to the official site of the U.S. Supreme Court and listen to the oral arguments from today’s ObamaCare hearing. The topic is the Anti-Injunction Act and whether it deprives the Court of jurisdiction over this case (at this time). Actually, it’s quite interesting.
In today’s American Spectator I use a gastronomical analogy to suggest that the individual mandate is not severable from Obamacare and, by extension, why the Supreme Court must send ACA back to the kitchen: Two years ago, when the chefs of the Democrat Party emerged from the legislative kitchen with that noisome combination of noxious [...]
Next Monday, the Supreme Court will begin 3 days of hearings on Obamacare. Not many people know the details of the oral argument process (including yours truly), so this video primer from Senator Mike Lee (who served as a law clerk for Justice Alito) is interesting indeed: [ht Ross Kaminsky]
My column in today’s American Spectator discusses the antics the Obama administration and its lickspittles will be up to during next week’s Supreme Court hearings on ObamaCare: Next week, almost exactly two years after the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was foisted on an unwilling electorate by a combination of congressional skullduggery and presidential [...]
On March 26, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments about one of the more arcane issues it has been asked to ponder concerning ObamaCare. The government’s lawyers and those representing the plaintiffs will lay out their positions as to whether the Anti-Injunction Act (AIA) deprives the Court of jurisdiction to decide the case at this [...]
Doctor Jill Vecchio, a practicing physician, has made a series of videos providing a thorough examination of Obamacare and what it means to the health care system and your freedom. They are all worth watching, but the Supreme Court will hear arguments on the law at the end of this month, so I decided this [...]
In order for a contract to be legally binding, it must be a voluntary agreement between the entities entering into that contract. If one of the entities is coerced into signing, the contract in question violates the principle of mutual assent and is not legally enforceable. This principle is supported by centuries of legal precedent. Because ObamaCare’s insurance [...]
This video, from the Heritage Foundation, captures the essence of the Obama administration’s anti-conscience mandate. And you don’t have to be religious to understand that it is dangerous. As Matthew Spalding, VP of American Studies at Heritage puts it: What is happening has little to do with health care or even public policy and everything [...]
