(1/10, Norman, Subscription Publication) reports that the Supreme Court could “allow implementation” of the healthcare law “and remove it as an issue in the presidential campaign” which, “from a policy point of view…might be preferable for those who back the law and believe it will become more popular the longer it’s in place and as states move further down the path of establishing exchanges and the rest of the law’s framework.” But, “It could also muffle the volume of the debate over the law in the presidential and congressional campaigns if there’s no final court decision on the merits of the measure to defend or attack.” The piece notes that court-appointed special lawyers said “justices should indeed pursue a third way and postpone a ruling on the overhaul.”
