This is the first thread of debate. I'm sure the initial posts will expand as this grows; however, in favor of creating a topic, I'm going to keep this one short.
The Appeals Court has ruled that the mandate for the Health Care Bill has been deemed unconstitutional. This will eventually lead to a Supreme Court challenge, but it behooves us to discuss this sooner rather than later.
Why is it unconstitutional? Why should it be consider good law and necessary for the bill to proceed? If it is unconstitutional, does this effectively kill the bill or is it merely an additional point in an otherwise effective piece of legislation?
Discuss.
