The Huffington Post featured commentary from
Joe Palmore in an article covering the Supreme Court hearing on the
Affordable Care Act, where Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate
Justice Brett Kavanaugh expressed skepticism about a key argument
in the lawsuit – specifically, that if one part of the
Obamacare law is unconstitutional, then the entire law has to come
off the books.
"The Chief and Justice Kavanaugh are both expressing strong
skepticism of the red states' position on severability,"
Joe explained. "If they stick with that position, the ACA will
survive."
