Supreme Court Orders New Review of ObamaCare Suit

The court cases continue for ObamaCare, with the Supreme Court today ordering a Virginia appeals court to review a lawsuit over the law's provisions regarding reproductive rights. Virginia's evangelical Liberty University had filed an earlier lawsuit arguing that the individual mandate meant taxpayer dollars would fund abortions and contraception, thus violating religious freedoms. The Richmond-based appeals court tossed the suit last year, but the school re-filed it, saying it deserves another look following the Supreme Court's June ruling.

That decision left the door open to legal challenges to some parts of the law. It's unclear when the appeals court will reexamine Liberty University v. Geithner, CNN notes. It could seek new arguments from both the university and the federal government. The Obama administration hasn't opposed the re-filing of the suit, though it disagrees with claims the law provides taxpayer-funded abortions. (More US Supreme Court stories.)
