Post on February 8, 2011 by 2 Comments »

Harvard scholar Laurence  Tribe’s piece in the NYT today on why the attempts to repeal the health care reform law will fail in the US Supreme Court – by a majority that has much more to do with legal reasoning than politics.

    Over 100 of the nation’s most eminent law professors have written an open letter expressing their agreement with Mr. Tribe that the health care reform law is constitutional.

    We can only hope this issue….constitutionality….remains in the legal plane where it should be. This Court bears watching, however, as it has become more ‘politicized’ than other Courts…and as the Third Branch of our government there is some argument that it can and should play that role. Of course the need for, reasoning in support/objection, factual basis for/against health care reform is indeed a purely ‘political’ battle and that is why it is being fought out in the Executive and Legislative Branch.
