What’s at stake? Does the Anti-Injunction apply in this case?

Before the U.S. Supreme Court justices can decide on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, they’ll hear arguments about whether it’s too soon to rule on the challenge to the law’s insurance requirement. What’s at stake? Does the Anti-Injunction apply in this case?

Lisa McElroy, Professor of Law, Drexel University's Earle Mack School of Law & Supreme Court scholar

John Eastman, Professor of Law & Community Service and Founding Director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence and former Dean at Chapman University School of Law
