As the Supreme Court takes up President Obama’s health care plan today, a new CBS News/New York Times poll shows 47% of Americans disapprove of the law, including 30% who strongly disapprove. Just 36% of those questioned said they support the law either somewhat or strongly.
Ezra Klein notes the court hearing “will last six hours and stretch over three days, the longest arguments in 45 years. One reason these oral arguments will last so long has to do with the variety of the topics that the justices will address. The Court won’t consider the Affordable Care Act as one single issue, but rather has broken the case into four, separate issues.”
National Journal reports “a survey of legal insiders released Monday morning found a widespread
expectation that the Court would uphold the central pillars of the law.”
