"If I was in the Obama administration, I would not be comfortable with how the last three days went." Reason's Damon Root was in attendance for the third and final day of oral arguments before the Supreme Court on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), which focused primarily on the issue of severability, which brings into question whether the individual mandate be excised from the law, or if the law in its totality must be struck down. Now that the case is in the hands of the Court and a decision isn't expected until late June, Root thinks the Obama administration has reason to be concerned not only because their Solicitor General's performance rated poorly, but because "their arguments were nowhere near as strong as they thought they were going to be." Runs about 3 minutes. Produced by Anthony L. Fisher, shot by Josh Swain and Fisher.

blog.heritage.org | The Court's morning session concentrated on whether, if the individual mandate is held unconstitutional (as looks increasingly likely after yesterday's argument), it can be cleanly severed from the rest of ObamaCare, and if not, what other portions of the act must the Court strike down with it. Heritage Senior Legal Fellow Hans von Spakovsky spoke with us after the first of two hearings let out this morning.

As solicitor general of the United States, Kagan headed up an office that formulated the Obama administration's legal defense of the legislation. She is obliged under Section 455(b)(3) of Title 28 of the US Code to recuse herself from cases where a justice has "served in governmental employment and in such capacity participated as counsel, adviser, or material witness concerning the proceeding or expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case or controversy." In February, Senator Jeff Sessions cited United States v. Gipson, a decision made by the Tenth Circuit that held judges who have "previously taken a part, albeit small, in the investigation, preparation, or prosecution of a case" must disqualify themselves. www.infowars.com

Reason's Damon Root attended the pivotal second day of oral arguments before the Supreme Court on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), which he described as a "Constitutional Thunderdome." The debate over the legality of the mandate to purchase insurance at the heart of ACA was, says Root, a rough-and-tumble colloquy about the "the role of government in our lives" and "what sort of limits the Constitution places on the federal government." "I'm more confident after today's arguments than I was going in that the individual mandate is in trouble," says Root. Oral arguments end tomorrow and the Supreme Court's decision is expected in early June. Runs about 3 minutes. Produced by Anthony L. Fisher, shot by Josh Swain and Fisher.

Does the fate of a federal government with limited powers rest in the hands of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia? And if so, will he rule against broad federal powers (as he did in the Gonzales case) or in favor of the feds' right to regulate just about anything (as he did in the Raich case)? The Supreme Court case over The Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, "is certainly the most important case on the reach of federal power in 50 years" says attorney and legal scholar Timothy Sandefur of the Pacific Legal Foundation. "The constitutional principle of where is the line drawn on federal power - that's a matter that our children and grandchildren will have to live with." The ruling will come sometime in early June, predicts Sandefur, who tells Reason.tv that the Affordable Care Act raises mutliple constitutional issues: Can part of the law be struck down and other upheld? Is the "individual mandate," which forces all Americans to purchase insurance as a condition of simply being alive, legal? Does the law's massive expansion of Medicaid shred the right of states to govern their own finances? "If the Court says yes, the federal government can compel you to buy health insurance," Sandefur tells Reason's Nick Gillespie, "then it would be a matter of politics whether Congress chooses to force you to buy a Chevy Volt or buy whatever else they think is good for society or the economy or whatever else a politician thinks is a good idea." What's more, Obamacare's Medicaid ...
Via Think Progress: "Today is the two-year anniversary of President Barack Obama signing the Affordable Care Act, which, once fully implemented will cover 30 million Americans and begin to lower the rate of growth in health care spending. Since reform passed, however, Republicans have voted to repeal or defund the law at least 25 times and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is preparing to focus largely on health care as he charts "a course for a Republican Senate in 2013 and what could be a bruising reelection bid in 2014." During the nearly 10-month legislative battle that preceded passage and in the years after, the GOP characterized the bill as a "socialist" "government takeover" and warned Americans that the bill would destroy lives and American society, hurling apocalyptic warnings that seem downright satirical two years later...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down, including laughable warnings from Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann. * thinkprogress.org Subscribe to The Young Turks: bit.ly Find out how to watch The Young Turks on Current by clicking here: www.current.com The Largest Online New Show in the World.

Gov. Jan Brewer is confident that the Supreme Court or Mitt Romney will eliminate the president's health care plan.
Reason's Damon Root got a coveted seat for the Supreme Court oral arguments on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Day one of this epic judicial showdown focused primarily on whether or not the individual mandate constitutes a tax. If the justices rule that the penalties associated with the mandate should be considered a tax, the challengers to ACA would have to wait until 2015, when the law goes into effect to challenge it. The main event of these proceedings, the arguments over whether or not the individual mandate is constitutional, will take place tomorrow.

A new finding by the Reason-Rupe Public Opinion Survey shows a majority of Americans dissatisfied with the health care law being debated in the Supreme Court while simultaneously confused about the role of government in current health care policy. "About 40 percent [of Americans] thought it wasn't regulated enough," explains Reason Polling Director Emily Ekins. When it comes to health care reform, "it's hard to move forward if people aren't clear as to what the market currently looks like."Reason.tv's Nick Gillespie sat down with Ekins to discuss the poll's findings, what Americans think about the current health care system, and the misconceptions surrounding regulation in the health care market.

It's one of the most divisive issues in US politics - and the hallmark of Barack Obama's presidency. Now the Supreme Court has begun a hearing to decide whether a proposed overhaul of the US health care system, is legal. Al Jazeera's Scott Heidler reports from Greenwich in Connecticut, on the law that affects millions of Americans.
In this video, Senator Lee discusses the Constitutional questions being raised by this week's Supreme Court Hearings on Obamacare. He also predicts what he thinks will be the outcome.
As the legality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - aka Obamacare - goes before the highest court in the land, here are three reasons to chuck the whole program even before it gets underway. 1. It Represents the End of Limited Government. The Supreme Court will issue its verdict later this spring of course, but there's no question that if the government can force you to do something simply because you exist and draw breath, then the American experiment in limited government is over and done with. Whether it's the mandating of eating broccoli or buying insurance, a government that can make you do whatever it wants just ain't in the American grain. 2. Its Price Tag is Already Ballooning. The latest government estimate of cost tells us what we already knew. Health-care reform is going to cost us a lot more than the arm and the leg it's supposed to save us. The Congressional Budget Office is now saying that the first full decade of Obamacare is going to cost about $1.8 trillion , or double the original estimate used to sell the program. 3. Obamacare Won't Make Us Healthier. Health insurance isn't the same thing as health. Most of us might end up paying more for health care under the new law, but there's precious little evidence that coverage itself leads to lower medical costs. A 1993 study by the RAND Corporation found that "for the average person, there were no substantial benefits from free care ." Not smoking, eating moderately, and not boozing it up ...
As part of its "Choose Freedom - Stop ObamaCare" campaign, The John Birch Society has been sponsoring talks by distinguished doctors throughout the United States. On October 25, 2010, Dr. Lee Kurisko spoke to hundreds of concerned citizens in Albany, New York. Dr. Kurisko knows the risks of centrally-planned healthcare firsthand from his experiences under the socialist healthcare system in Canada. This video was made by amateur filmmakers who are members of a local JBS chapter. This is not an official JBS production. Choose healthcare freedom and oppose ObamaCare. The new law is highly unconstitutional, takes away the choice patients are offered by their doctors, and interferes with the lifestyle choices parents make for their families. ObamaCare can be stopped at the state level through nullification and at the federal level through defunding and repealing.

Vice President Biden didn't get the story quite straight. As the Obama Administration reels from the backlash for Obamacare's anti-conscience mandate that forces religious employers to provide coverage and pay for abortion-inducing drugs, Biden yesterday set out to convince America that the Administration has a "new" version of the mandate that respects religion. The only problem is, the version is neither new nor respectful of religious liberty.
