The just-ended U.S. Supreme Court term will be known for its landmark health care decision and a historic debate among elected leaders, the judiciary and citizens about the role of government in American life today.
“In a way, more people have paid attention to this case than any in recent memory, with the exception of Bush v. Gore, which happened all so quickly,” said former Solicitor General Paul Clement of Bancroft, counsel to the states that challenged the health care law. “This is a good thing for the Court. In the long run, people will have an appreciation that this really is a different branch of government.”
