Video preview of Supreme Court arguments for and against HCR

Healthcare Reform Law Debated
Former U.S. Solicitor Generals Neal Katyal and Paul Clement faced off for the
second time on the new health care reform law at the National Press Club in
Washington, DC. They previewed next month’s Supreme Court oral argument
focusing on the individual mandate and if it’s constitutional for the federal
government to mandate that Americans buy health insurance.

Paul Clement and Neal Katyal argued on opposite sides of the health care law
before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta last year. Clement, representing
26 states against the Affordable Care Act, won his case. The Court ruled 2 to 1 that
the part of law requiring the purchase of insurance was an unconstitutional exercise
of congressional power. SCOTUSblog and Bloomberg Law hosted. At link, video is in the right-hand column of the page.

----------------------
This is a wonk-heavy, but fascinating, preview of the arguments that will be offered before the Supreme Court, starting today. Note that "W"'s nightmare legacy continues - Paul Clement, who will be arguing the side of throwing millions off health insurance and restoring the right of insurance companies to resume their abuses, was the U.S. Solicitor General under Bush 2004-2008.
