Which case, or is it a conglomeration of all of the conflicting circuit cases?
I’m not sure, i have to see which it was. But i imagine they would join together those cases which have been appealed to the Sup ct dealing with it. There are a variety of issues, severability being one, and the mandate being another, but there are other ancillary issues, like standing, as well.
Five and a half hours of oral arguments have been scheduled. Other related cases are pending and may also be added to the docket. The largest and broadest legal challenge to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act comes from a joint filing by 26 states, led by Florida. It was that series of appeals the high court accepted for review. At issue is whether the "individual mandate" section -- requiring nearly all Americans to buy health insurance by 2014 or face financial penalties -- is an improper exercise of federal authority. The states also say that if that linchpin provision is unconstitutional, the entire law must be also go.
i just saw MarkLevin tweet that his Landmark Legal Foundation has filed an amicus brief in the obamacare suit.
