Biden administration tells Supreme Court Obamacare is constitutional, should be saved

President Biden’s administration told the Supreme Court on Wednesday that his predecessor had been wrong to argue that the Affordable Care Act was unconstitutional and urged the court to uphold the health-care law.

A top Justice Department lawyer, in a letter to the court, reversed the government’s position in a case argued last November and in which a decision has not been announced. While it is rare for the government to switch its position in a case, this change was expected, and this case could be the first of several before the high court in which Biden’s administration separates itself from positions held by former president Donald Trump.
