Yesterday the legal boxing began with the first round being about the Anti-Injunction Act (AIA) of 1867, and whether or not the court could actually hear arguments about the health care reform individual mandate if no penalties (paid to the IRS) had been paid yet. The AIA is the legal basis of all tax collections, and says that you have to pay the tax before you can challenge the tax in court. From the sounds of the arguments in the Supreme Court hearing yesterday, it appears the AIA is a non issue for the rest of the week’s health care reform arguments.
Today the Supreme Court will be hearing the first arguments about the ability of the federal government to impose an individual mandate to buy health insurance on all citizens.
Stay tuned for more.
