WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has rejected another challenge to President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.
The justices on Tuesday left in place lower court rulings that dismissed a lawsuit against the national health care law. The suit argues that the law violates the provision of the Constitution that requires tax-raising bills to originate in the House of Representatives.
The court has twice turned back major challenges to the law, in opinions written by Chief Justice John Roberts in 2012 and in June. The court also has allowed family-owned businesses with religious objections to opt out of paying for contraceptives for women covered under their health plans. The Pacific Legal Foundation backed the latest lawsuit, filed on behalf of small-business owner Matt Sissel.

Shouldn’t providing how each justice voted be a necessary part of this reportage?
All patriotic Americans should be outraged that getting insurance for pre-existing conditions is even possible without having to liquidate all your assets and borrow money to afford the premiums. A Republican President and Congress will put an end to this travesty.
Repeal? Replace?? OH DEAR GOD, HERE COME THE DEATH PANELS!!!)^%01011010101!!!0101!!
This is all typically decided during Justices’ Conferences where no one else is permitted inside the room except for the justices. I expect they don’t tally the vote so everyone feels they can speak freely. They only needed four to hear the case, so it was a pretty solid, nope.
Maybe Arpaio should have U.S. Superior Court Judge Bruce Doucette hear the case.
