Obamacare Daily Oral Argument Briefing - Tuesday

Federalism & Separation of Powers Practice Group Teleforum

On Tuesday, March 27, the U.S. Supreme Court will continue hearing oral arguments in Florida v. HHS, better known as the Obamacare case. The federal courts below split on the constitutionality of the health care reform act. Tuesday's arguments will focus on the constitutionality of the individual mandate. Join us as Professor Randy Barnett, who will attend Tuesday's oral arguments, reports from the Courthouse steps on exactly what transpired. Which justices seemed most dubious about the individual mandate, and which seemed most inclined to support Congress’ assertion of power? What were the major points of contention? Did the advocates for the government propound a judicially-administrable limiting principle on Congress’ power? Professor Barnett will discuss these and other questions in this special Teleforum call.
