].
“The significance of this court hearing cannot be overstated, ” said Richard
Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Law Center. The hearing will
take place in Judge Steeh’s courtroom located in the Theodore Levin U.S.
Courthouse in Detroit.
Moments after President Obama signed the health care bill into law (Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act), on March 23, 2010, the Thomas More Law
Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan,
and co-counsel Washington, D.C. lawyer David Yerushalmi filed a federal
lawsuit on behalf of the Law Center and four Michigan residents who object
to being forced by the federal government to purchase health care or face a
federal penalty. The basis for the lawsuit and the motion is that Congress
exceeded its authority under the Commerce Clause by mandating that private
citizens purchase health care coverage or face a penalty.
Presenting arguments in support of the motion for Preliminary Injunction
will be the Law Center’s Senior Trial Counsel Rob Muise and co-counsel David
Yerushalmi.
