The Legal Fight Against ObamaCare Lives On

The legal fight against Obamacare lives on. On Monday, the Supreme Court vacated an appellate court ruling that had favored the health care takeover and granted opponents a second chance to make their case that the law is unconstitutional. In June, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. upheld Obamacare by declaring the individual mandate to be lawful as a tax, but the high court never considered whether the employer mandate is constitutional. Obamacare is especially vulnerable on this front because First Amendment considerations are in play.

Liberty University will have a chance to argue this before the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond. As a private institution, Liberty has a problem with the federal government ordering it to provide health insurance. As a Christian institution, Liberty is especially offended by being forced to underwrite the cost of abortions, something that is contrary to the school?s fundamental beliefs and mission. It?s the equivalent of having the federal government order the Arbor Day Foundation to bankroll logging operations or Greenpeace to pay for the construction of nuclear power plants.
