I wasn’t aware of the Michigan suit until today, but a federal judge has upheld legally questionable aspects of Obamacare: From the story:
A federal judge in Detroit today upheld key provisions of President Barack Obama’s landmark health reform law. In a 20-page decision, U.S. District Judge George Steeh refused to issue an injunction to halt preparations for putting federal health reforms into full effect in 2014, a law known as the Affordable Care Act passed by Congress in March. Steeh also dismissed the major points of the suit — requiring Americans to buy health insurance and penalizing those who don’t starting in 2014.
In Virginia, a different judge has allowed the state’s lawsuit against the law to go forward, and a decision is expected any day in Florida on whether several states suing the government in that case will be allowed to continue with their case. Whichever way these early skirmishes go, Supreme Court, here we come.
Dear Reader,
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
