Obama Healthcare Law and Our Chief Justice





Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. will be making history soon. When he takes his seat on March 26, he will be hearing arguments on the Obama Healthcare law. This is going to really make history. Chief  Justice Roberts will be determining the fate of millions of Americans who do not have healthcare insurance. So many lives are in the hands of Roberts and his decision will define his legacy either in a positive way or negative way. So, America asks you Chief Justice Roberts: What are you going to do?

While reading an article about this historical event in the newspaper, I realized I knew nothing really about this man and who he really was even though the Healthcare Law is very important to me. So, I decided to learn a bit more. I found that our Chief Justice and Our President have a few things in common. He graduated from Harvard law school as did our President. Both graduated magna cum laude which means "with great praise" showing that they work above and beyond the requirements to graduate. Roberts later worked for George W. Bush in the 1990's. Something else interesting is the fact that in 2004, Obama was recognized after his historical speech to be a definite preffered candidate to run in the Democratic party for presidency.

 A year later, in 2005, Roberts was appointed by President George W. Bush Jr. as Chief Justice. Now, I am not trying to connect anything for anyone. But research this some more and I'm quite sure it will draw some conclusions for you. What is really going to happen with this Healthcare law?
