DC Circuit Court to Decide Tuesday Whether Obama Administration Can Rewrite Laws

On Tuesday the a three judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will be hearing Halbig v. Sebelius, one of the more important legal challenges to ObamaCare's legally problematic implementation. What the plaintiffs are asking is pretty straightforward - they want the judges to direct the Obama Administration to faithfully execute the plain language of the statute that Congress passed and the president signed.

The law says that subsidies will be available only to people who enroll "through an Exchange established by the State." The question in Halbig is whether these taxpayer subsidies can be distributed through the federal exchanges, as the Administration insists.
