Look At Challenges To ObamaCare on November

Good news Americans. The Supreme Court will review the challenges to the
recently ruled unconstitutional ObamaCare law.
>From SCOTUSBlog <http://www.scotusblog.com/2011/10/health-cases-set/>:
The Supreme Court will take its first look at the challenges to the new
federal health care law at its Conference on Thursday, November 10. Five of
the six pending petitions (the sixth is not ready yet) were distributed to
the Justices’ chambers on Wednesday, for consideration at that private
session. Although a grant of review is not assured, that is highly likely,
since all sides agree that the Court should take on the controversy, and the
constitutionality of a key provision of the new law has been decided
differently by federal appea ls courts.
The first decision the Court will face in this historic dispute is whether
to grant any of the petitions or any of the issues. The Justices have the
discretion to grant all, some, or none, since none reached the Court as a
mandatory appeal. (The filings in the cases can be found on the Court’s
website, here. <http://www.supremecourt.gov/docket/PPAACA.aspx>)
Four of the petitions were filed by challengers, and together they raise all
of the key issues the Justices may want to consider as they examine the
massive Affordable Care Act passed by Congress at the urging of President
Obama. The fifth petition is the federal government’s, defending the
constitutionality of the insurance-purchase mandate that is crucial to the
overall law’s functioning. The government also is urging the Court to
confine its review to only a few vital questions.
The sixth pending petition involves an attempt by the state of Virginia to
get back into the constitutional fray; the Fourth Circuit Court ruled that
Virginia did not have a legal right to bring its court challenge, since it
could not show that the state would suffer any harm from the new insurance
mandate. That petition will be ready only when the federal government
files a response, which currently is due on Nov. 3. The government has not
hurried its filing of a response to Virginia’s filing, as it did in most of
the others.
