Health Law Faces Threat of Undercut From Courts


Although it is safe to assume that the majority of Americans are still skeptical about the health care laws, it seems as though that the opposition of some federal judges to this law is simply a microcosm of the disagreement between the left and right, rather than an issue with the law itself. It is clear that judges trying to oppose this law may only be able to declare (barely) some but not all provisions of the law unconstitutional. It would easier (I believe) to prove the constitutionality of the provisions instead of the opposite. I think that the bigger question here is should ideology precede the courts' attempts to contain the already-out-of-control political turmoil surrounding this issue?
