Deciding on the Constitutionality of PPACA: Timing Is Everything!

We're reading today of another judicial opinion on certain provisions of the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act (PPACA). We all know these early round decisions are just a precursor to a Supreme Court ruling.

There was one of many quotes in reaction to the Florida ruling that caught my eye: "Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, said he would convene a Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday to examine the constitutionality of the law."

So, let me see if I have this right. Those that were 'smart' enough to craft this legislation are only now thinking about a Committee Hearing to consider its constitutionality. Shame!
