From the UPI:
The repeal of healthcare reform by the U.S. House earlier this month may have been a feckless exercise of political theater but there is no playacting when it comes to the legal challenges now elbowing their way through the U.S. courts.
The U.S. Senate is extremely unlikely to follow the House's lead, and President Obama has vowed to veto the repeal if it does. But the legal challenges to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act by 28 states and others inevitably are headed to a U.S. Supreme Court dominated by a 5-4 conservative majority expected to be at least philosophically sympathetic.
File this under checks and balances and federalism, among other things.
