Tucked inside the Supreme Court's lengthy list of orders on Monday was an indication that the fight over President Obama's health care law soon could be back before the high court.
Since the court's June decision upholding the law's individual mandate to buy insurance, one of the first Obamacare plaintiffs has been fighting for a new hearing on challenges to other portions of the law.
Liberty University, a Christian college in Virginia, has been fighting the employer mandate since the law was enacted, while challenging the law on other constitutional grounds. The school got as far as the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, which refused to hear the merits of the case. That federal court decided that the original Liberty University lawsuit was barred because of the Anti-Injunction Act, which would block any challenge to a "tax" before a taxpayer actually pays it, in this case referring to the penalties associated with failing to obtain health insurance.
In June, the Supreme Court ruled that the Anti-Injunction Act did not serve as a barrier to lawsuits challenging the health care law. On that basis, Liberty University immediately petitioned the court to allow it to renew its original case.
On Monday, the Supreme Court noted the university's renewed request and gave the administration 30 days to respond to the request, suggesting that the justices are taking the Liberty request seriously.

Al this will take almost a year to accomplish.
It goes back to the Fourth Circuit is the SC agrees to hear tha challenge, then possibly back to the SC to decide.
A year, I guess, is known as being on the “fast track”.
It makes me think I am Charlie Brown with Lucy holding the football....again.
We cannot wait another year.
Job One in January 2013 is to repeal Obamacare IN ITS ENTIRETY. Nothing is to be allowed to survive.
Start over.
And then we must petition for the removal of Roberts as Chief Justice.
A bill proven unconstitutional on two grounds, CANNOT be constitutional, as a tax or not as a tax.
Roberts failed the Court, the nation, and the Constitution.
He can never be trusted with the responsibilities of Chief Justice ever again.
But that's okay.
What's not okay is that you don't care that you're wrong about Roberts.
Harriet Miers was the one appointed for the spot that ultimately became Alito’s.
Just a reminder.
Roberts IS correct, it's our own damn fault and if we DON'T heed what he is telling us, we will be come a police state.
What do we call ourselves.....”the sleeping giant”? Keyword......SLEEPING. WE were asleep at the wheel and allowed this to happen, now we're all pissed off.
For some reason I cannot fathom, WE THE PEOPLE keep voting these traitors into office. Why?
2010 was a great start for us “sleeping giants” who have finally awoken.......The Tea Party, made up of all political groups.
The 16th amendment seemed to have made WE THE PEOPLE virtual slaves (corporations)to the government.
Basically, Roberts called us “doomas’s” (remember the root beer commercial?). WE allowed this to happen and from what I can gather from your post he is WARNING us.

Good idea! thumbs up!
Roberts is BS - he sworn in the maggot on Pelosi’s say so - idiot judge that he is - he checked nothing out! He was the one sleeping!
Then WHY do we call ourselves the “sleeping giant”????
Where you sleeping in ‘07 ‘08 when barry came on the scene? I wasn’t!
Never thought voters would be taken in with him - obviously, i gave voters/Americans MUCH MORE credit than they deserved and had no idea just how many Americans were so dumb and so easy to deceive.
Seems more like these idiots are the sleeping giants - clueless destroys America - who would have thunk it. Obviously, the left counted on it.
Then add the usual GOP weak candidate and the commie walked off laughing his skinny commie butt off! And proceeded to ignore our Constitution and kill, rob and destroy whatever of America he can.
John 10:10 “The thief/satan comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly”.
Well good for you! We have named ourselves “the sleeping giant”.
It IS NOT my term, but of those “sleeping at the wheel” while all of this was taking place.
I am NOT directly placing blame on 1 individual. I am placing blame on US...for allowing such a thing to happen!
With Ronald at the wheel, we were “lulled”....and expected things to remain that way.
Guess what....the commies took over in our lull!
My point......NEVER FALL ASLEEP AGAIN!!
