- Professor Mark Hall finds seven examples where the Eleventh Circuit’s opinion striking down part of the Affordable Care Act manages to contradict itself.
- Now that just one court of appeals has accepted the meritless case against the ACA, the issue is all but certain to wind up in front of the Supreme Court.
- Elaine Riddick, who was involuntarily sterilized by the state of North Carolina after she was raped four decades ago, is still fighting for compensation.
- Corporate-supported Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser outraised his opponent by 2 to 1 for the potential legal fight surrounding the recount that followed his very narrow victory.
