King v. Burwell—Policy to Trump Law?

My friend and Cato Institute scholar Roger Pilon shines light into a scary dark Supreme Court corner.

Roger warns, “As many of us feared, however, it appears that the focus of several of the justices, perhaps a majority, was less on the law than on the ‘dire consequences’ that would follow if the Court decided that the law was clear and that, accordingly, the government should lose.”

Roger is clear: “The Obama team wants policy to trump law.”

Roger concludes, “If consequences are indeed our concern, let’s focus on the most fundamental of them, starting with those that follow from abandoning the rule of law.”
