Just down the hill from Virginia’s Capitol, state and federal lawyers will renew their arguments this week over the constitutionality of the nation’s health care overhaul.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments Tuesday in two cases challenging the constitutionality of the year-old Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
A three-judge panel will hear a lawsuit filed by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who has received national attention for leading the state’s effort to thwart President Barack Obama’s signature domestic policy initiative. The same three-judge panel will hear arguments in a separate lawsuit filed by Liberty University, which is challenging the constitutionality of both the individual and employer insurance mandates in the health care law.
