“New health overhaul challenge reaching Supreme Court”

Mark Sherman of AP on the Origination Clause challenge to Obamacare.  Here is my earlier analysis of the chances of cert. in this case:

I could see this interesting Justice Scalia (whose alternative view of the origination clause gets play by Judge Kavanaugh), Justice Thomas, and potentially Justice Alito. Do they get a fourth vote for cert. from CJ Roberts or Justice Kennedy, and would they care whether they’d be likely to get both of them on the merits in a final ruling?  This is unclear, as is it unclear how strategically these Justices will vote on the cert. decision.
