    Default Health Care Lawsuit Special Edition

    Health Care Lawsuit Special Edition

    On Monday, Florida, 25 other states, the National Federation of Independent Business and four individual plaintiffs will begin oral argument to defend Americans' individual liberty before the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has allotted an unprecedented six hours of time for oral argument, which will conclude on Wednesday, March 28. Paul Clement, former U.S. Solicitor General, will argue on behalf of the states.

    We must preserve Americans' individual liberty and ensure that our federal government is one of limited powers. If the federal government can force us to purchase health insurance, they can force us to do anything. Paul Clement is a premiere Supreme Court practitioner, and we are proud that he will be defending our constitutional rights before the Supreme Court.

    The argument schedule is as follows:

    Monday, March 26, 10 a.m.

    o The Court will hear 90 minutes of argument on the federal Anti-Injunction Act.

    Tuesday, March 27, 10 a.m.

    o The Court will hear two hours of argument on the constitutionality of the individual mandate.

    Wednesday, March 28, 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

    o At 10 a.m., the Court will hear 90 minutes on the issue of severability.
    o At 1 p.m., the Court will hear one hour of argument on expansion of Medicaid programs.

    The Court is expected to issue a decision by the end of June 2012. For more information on the health care lawsuit, please visit http://www.healthcarelawsuit.us/.

    Thank you for this.

    I hadn't heard any of the news stations talk about the severability issue at all, so I was wondering about this and if it was going to be addressed. It was my understanding there was no severability clause in the original act and this would make the whole act null and void, it the mandate was found unconstitutional. No need for repeal then.

    This issue is the only important news happening next week IMHO. All else pales in comparison. If we lose this the Constitution is truly dead.

    This post is quite helpful.
