The largest expansion of the American welfare state since the Great
Society stands, upheld by the most conservative Supreme Court in
decades. Yet the decision is not simply a landmark ruling, it is a
monumental setback for a conservative movement strategy meant to sabotage, by all available means, the presidency of Barack Obama.
"The Supreme Court just saved Obama's ass," says Adam Winkler, a professor at the UCLA School of Law.
In a largely unexpected decision, Chief Justice John Roberts joined with
the four Democratic appointees on the court to keep the law alive,
upholding the individual mandate as a tax, not a legitimate government
regulation made possible by the Constitution's Commerce Clause. One man,
a conservative justice appointed by Obama's Republican predecessor,
George W. Bush, thwarted the right-wing assault on the Affordable Care
Act. (You can read the decision below.)
