Why Obama Wants Health Care Before the Supreme Court
Rick Hasen makes the political case for why President Obama wants the constitutionality of his health care law decided by the Supreme Court during the election.

"If the Court strikes down the law, Obama makes more of an issue of a Court out of control (think FDR) during the 2012 campaign... If the Court upholds the law, this takes some of the wind out of the argument likely to come from the Republican presidential nominee that the health care law is unconstitutional. No lose before the election. Sometimes, you can win by losing before the Roberts Court."
