One week ago, I wrote a post about the constitutionality of Obamacare after Linda Greenhouse, who for years reported on legal matters for the New York Times, announced her view that the arguments against Obamacare were so without merit that they would just melt away. I said then that Greenhouse did not know what she was talking about; the contitutional objection to Obamacare is serious and likely to succeed. Since then, we have seen three days of argument in the Supreme Court on the subject. We do not know yet what the Court will decide. One thing is certain, however: Linda was wrong. The arguments of the law's opponents did not melt away. Indeed, the consensus view is that the Court is likely to overturn Obamacare. I guess that Greenhouse will have to learn some time that reporting is supposed to be more than wishful thinking.
