The U.S. Supreme Court’s 2012 decision upholding the Affordable Care Act has legs. Even though the court found the law constitutional, challengers said during a recent discussion of the case at Georgetown University Law Center that it would prove an important weapon in opposing additional expansive exercises of congressional power.
The event, sponsored by Georgetown’s Supreme Court Institute, brought together many of the key litigators on both sides of the contentious battle over the health care reform. The occasion for what amounted to a reunion was publication this month of Unprecedented: The Constitutional Challenge to Obamacare, a book about the case by Josh Blackman, assistant professor at the South Texas College of Law.
