6th Circuit Court of Appeals upholds Affordable Care Act

Well, it’s more stare decisis than judicial restraint in general, but I agree that this is the correct result legally. I think the Affordable Care Act is poor public policy, and I think the best construction of the constitution would deny Congress the power to pass it… but I also think that issue was decided against me sixty years ago. Today, the correct answer is the one the Sixth Circuit came up with.
