One of the law firms representing a lead party in the Florida litigation launched by 26 states challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare invited Landmark Legal Foundation to file an amicus curiae ("Friend of the Court") brief in support of the federal district court's decision that Obamacare was unconstitutional. Landmark was asked to address the Commerce Clause and tax issues relating to the legislation.

Landmark was asked to address the Commerce Clause and tax issues relating to the legislation.

Good luck with Scalia...

...the authority to enact laws necessary and proper for the regulation of interstate commerce is not limited to laws governing intrastate activities that substantially affect interstate commerce. Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce.

Justice Scalia concurring in Raich

The Landmark brief makes a compelling case as to the unconstitutionality of the Health Care law, specifically relating to the “penalty provision” which would result if an individual makes the decision to not purchase health insurance.

Should the Appeals Court overturn the lower District court, it will have to do so via severe unprecedented contortions of the Constitution, and would itself likely be overturned by the USSC in my opinion.
