Deadline Looms For DOJ Appeal Of Healthcare Ruling
Politico (9/23, Haberkorn, 25K) reports, “The Obama administration has to decide by Monday whether it wants to directly ask the Supreme Court to review the constitutionality of its signature health reform legislation.” Since a three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals “ruled against the health law in August, the administration can either ask the full court to take another look at the case or ask the Supreme Court to review it and issue a final decision.” Politico notes that the Justice Department “has until Monday to file paperwork if it wants to go back to the full circuit court,” and if the department does not file or get an extension, it has no other option than to ask the Supreme Court to rule on the 11th Circuit’s decision. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0911/64140.html
