Scalia and Thomas dine with healthcare law challengers as court takes case
The day the Supreme Court
gathered behind closed doors to consider the politically divisive
question of whether it would hear a challenge to President Obama’s healthcare law, two of its justices, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, were feted at a dinner sponsored by the law firm that will argue the case before the high court.
The occasion was last Thursday, when all nine justices met for a
conference to pore over the petitions for review. One of the cases at
issue was a suit brought by 26 states challenging the sweeping
healthcare overhaul passed by Congress last year, a law that has been a
rallying cry for conservative activists nationwide.
