Happy Birthday, ObamaCare! Now Get Ready for the Supreme Court

"Out of curiousity, John, what are your thoughts on the Commerce Clause?"

Two years ago today, President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law at a special ceremony in the East Room of the White House. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court kicks offs three days of oral arguments surrounding the constitutionality of that law, including its controversial requirement that all Americans buy or secure government-approved health insurance. That's what I call a birthday bash.

As you prepare for next week's historic confrontation between the Obama administration and ObamaCare's legal challengers, get yourself up to speed with this selection from Reason's two year-plus coverage of this extraordinary constitutional showdown.
