affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) before the High Court.
Typically, the Supreme Count hearings last one hour. In the case of the March, 2012, review of ObamaCare by the High Court, five and a half hours has been set aside for this hearing. This appears to be a record, for that sort of thing.
More than this, the Court will decide on the issue of serverablity, should it decide against the mandate requirement. In other words, if the Court strikes down the mandate, does that kill the law in its entirety or can parts of the bill be "severed" from the larger bill.
I am curious. Is this schedule, the five and a half hearing complete with a review of the serverability issue, a predictor of sorts as to the Court's [potential] decision? Is the Court's mind one of exclusion with regard to the mandate issue? Understand that in my feeble mind, there is no need to consider "severability" if the mandate is judged as Constitutional.
May I humbly ask, where on the net do you find this kind of consideration? What better reason to add Midknight Review to your bookmark lists? From time to time, I hit the real issue behind the news, in its face.
