All Eyes on the Supreme Court

June 25, 2012 · 9:44 am ET · Leave a Comment

It’s a big day (or week) over at Wonk Wire as we wait for the Supreme Court ruling on President Obama’s health care law.

Start off with a crash course on what they’re deciding and look at what the White House plans to do and what Congress must do if the law is overturned.

First Read: “Don’t forget: We’ll also get the court’s decision on Arizona’s
immigration law this week. By the way, if you are a Republican
strategist involved in a competitive election, you are hoping the
Arizona decision gets released WITH health care. If it’s immigration
today and health care on Thursday, then the GOP has to deal with another
three days of the immigration issue in the news, and we’ve yet to see
how any day that has immigration in the news is a good one for
Republicans in November.”

Update: Wonk Wire has a rundown of all of the court’s decisions.
