The health care law has been a main point of attack for candidates seeking the presidential nomination of the Republican Party. Texas Governor Rick Perry promised to strike down the law during a recent appearance in New Hampshire.
RICK PERRY: “On my first day in office I will pull out probably a Sharpie and I will put my signature to an executive order to wipe out as much of Obama care as I can, using that technique.”
Health care reform has been a hotly debated issue in the United States
Legal experts say it is not clear how the Supreme Court will decide the case. Miguel Estrada argued several cases in front of the court as a Justice Department official in the nineteen nineties.
MIGUEL ESTRADA: “The issues are really hard. Every time you ask the Supreme Court to overturn an act of Congress, it is a very difficult thing for the court to do. And Congress comes to the Supreme Court with a presumption of deference and constitutionality.”
That respect for Congress and the work that it does will probably guide the Supreme Court’s consideration of the health care law.
Health care is not the only big issue the court is expected to rule on this term. Another could be an immigration law in Arizona. That law lets police officers request immigration papers from anyone they suspect is in the country illegally. The Obama administration opposes the measure. It says the Arizona law could lead to people being unfairly targeted because of their race.
