ObamaCare Ruling Coming Thursday
As I noted elsewhere, there was no decision in the Affordable Care Act cases today, as I had expected. Instead, the Court has set Thursday as the final day on which opinions will be issued. In addition to the PPACA case, which actually comprises four separate cases and will likely be the final case announced that day, the Court will also likely issue its opinions in the case regarding the Constitutionality of the Stolen Valor Act and in another case that has been pending since December regarding interpretation of the Real Estate Settlements Protection Act.
It’s going to be a busy Thursday.
Whether it is the last order released on Thursday depends on who is writing the majority opinion given I doubt they adjust the standard release order by seniority. If Roberts is in the majority and writes the opinion it goes last, if not, it depends on who is writing which opinions being released.
