The American Bar Assn. devoted all 40 pages of the latest Preview of United States Supreme Court Cases magazine to the high courts review of Obamacare, formally known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The court is scheduled to hear arguments about the laws constitutionality this month. For this special issue, the editors of Preview polled “a select group of academics, journalists and lawyers who regularly follow and/or comment on the Supreme Court” to get their predictions on how the court would rule.
The result: 85% said the act would be upheld, mainly because they believed the court would find the requirement that all adult Americans obtain insurance coverage to be constitutional. A small faction — 9% — believed the court would hold that the challenge to the law was premature because the provisions being challenged wont go into effect until 2014. Most of those polled also said that if the court struck down the individual mandate, it would leave the rest of the act intact.
