Obama Health Care Fight Goes to Appeals Court
By Tom Schoenberg -
Three judges appointed to the bench by Democratic presidents will hear the first appellate arguments on whether requiring Americans to buy health insurance is, as a lower court judge ruled, the same as ordering them to buy broccoli or a Cadillac.
So far, trial court decisions on the law have broken along party lines, with judges appointed by Republican presidents ruling against the law and Democratic-appointed judges ruling in favor of it.
The U.S. appeals judges in Virginia assigned to review the cases are Diana Gribbon Motz, Andre Davis and James Wynn Jr. Davis and Wynn were appointed to the appeals court in Richmond, Virginia by President Barack Obama. Motz was appointed by President Bill Clinton.
Does it really matter? This thing is headed to the USSC one way or another.
No, it doesn't matter. Even if by some miracle they rule on our side, Obama will simply ignore it anyway.
Do you mean ignore the Supreme Court? Now that would get real interesting.
I was referring to the court in the op, however I wouldn't put it past him to ignore the SC as well.
