HOUSTON, November 15
I was grateful to hear yesterday that the U.S. Supreme Court had agreed to take on the economically destructive 2,700 page Obamacare legislation in its upcoming session. It appears that the Supremes will give the politically divisive issue a 5 1/2 hour hearing, which is far greater than their typical 60 minute time allowance for oral arguments. The challenge is being brought by 26 states. We are told that the hearing will begin in March 2012 and that we should expect a final decision to be handed down on June 30. This is somewhat surprising considering that this will place the Supreme Court in an interesting situation: deciding on the constitutionality of a piece of hotly debated legislation during a Presidential election year. Last weekend, I had an interesting discussion with a senior fellow from the CATO Institute, Michael Tanner, over the ramifications that Obamacare would have on individuals, small businesses, and more. If you missed the interview, you can listen here.Â
