The Obama administration chose not to ask the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to re-hear a pivotal health reform case Monday, signaling that it’s going to ask the Supreme Court to decide whether President Barack Obama’s health reform law is constitutional.
The move puts the Supreme Court in the difficult position of having to decide whether to take the highly politically charged case in the middle of the presidential election.
The Justice Department is expected to ask the court to overturn an August decision by a panel of three judges in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals that found the law’s requirement to buy insurance is unconstitutional. The suit was brought by 26 states, the National Federation of Independent Business, and several individuals.
Since the ruling, the Justice Department had until Monday to ask the entire 11th Circuit to review the case. Administration lawyers didn’t file the paperwork by the 5 p.m. deadline, so the ruling would stand unless the Justice Department asks the Supreme Court to step in.
The petition isn’t due until November, and the administration could get an extension.

Couldn't agree more.
They didn't even read the legislation they signed!
This one is as safe as a babe in her Mommy’s arms. No way, no how anybody impeaches her for throwing this case.
If Obama loses he will push single-payer. If he wins they let attrition take care of it until it eventually goes to single-payer.
Even if they get rid of forcing us to buy insurance that isn’t enough for me. The courts can’t really help us much. We need enough legislative clout to reverse the whole damm thing.
ObamaCare is the best thing for DC since the New Deal and the Great Society combined.
DC ain’t gonna get in its way. We the People are gonna have to tear that thing out by the roots.
