When the Richmond, Virginia-based Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued its ruling against the state of Virginia’s case against ObamaCare this morning, I asked one of the nation’s most knowledgeable legal scholars, Georgetown law professor Randy Barnett, whom I interviewed earlier this year, for a statement. Dr. Barnett responded: “For a case that some said was a “no brainer” to uphold the Affordable Care Act [ObamaCare], three federal courts of appeals have adopted three different positions, each in 2 -1 decisions over a dissenting opinion. If any litigation ever cried out for resolution by the Supreme Court—and soon—it is this one. It is high time for the high court.”
