Accept their answer and drop the case?
The Supreme Court has the Obamacare case before it, not the Fifth Circuit appeals court which this judge sits on.
Do you mean drop the Obamacare case, or do you mean drop the question the judge demanded they answer, just as long as they answer it somehow?
They can’t drop a case they don’t have, nor could the Supreme Court drop a case they have heard...they have to rule.
Dropping the question...that would depend on how far this judge wants to push it, but it is unwise to tick off federal judges by ignoring them.
What tickles me is the judge just put a mandate on DOJ.
Sorry, I meant the case they're hearing.
The case before the appeals court was brought in part by a spine and joint hospital in East Texas that is challenging the constitutionality of a portion of the health care law that restricts physician-owned hospitals from expanding or building new facilities
I was saying they could drop the case they're hearing if they accepted a response that judicial review was invalid on the issue of healthcare.
