Headline reads like the worst decision already happened and the ACA no longer exists.

That was my thought as well. The Supreme Court granting certiorari (which is SCOTUS’ fancy way of accepting a case for review) does not, repeat not mean the Court is going to overturn the law being reviewed.

The Court hasn’t even heard oral arguments on the case, and Linda Greenhouse is already claiming some sort of skullduggery. She cites no clear evidence that something improper has happened, as while SCOTUS normally acts if there is a difference between appellate courts, it is not required to do so. Given the far reaching nature of the ACA and the question of congressional intent, a case can surely be made for prompt action by the high court to clear up the situation.

This op-ed starts from a hostile assumption, and is ultimately just preaching to a liberal choir about how ‘evil’ conservatives are. My rating: 3 Pinocchios.
