Pending SCOTUS Rulings Have Washington In A Frenzy

The Supreme Court’s session is drawing to a close and several of the most highly-anticipated cases have yet to be decided, meaning the media and lawmakers alike are on tenterhooks waiting to see how the Court will rule on same-sex marriage and the Affordable Care Act. King v Burwell, concerning health care subsidies established under Obamacare, is of particular interest. GOP lawmakers have called meetings to help calm fears about the public backlash they may face if the Supreme Court rules in their favor, and lobbying firms are preparing “predecision” memos and briefs.
