Kennedy on Health Care: Feds Have ‘Very Heavy Burden of Justification’



"Justice Anthony Kennedy’s comment Tuesday morning during the arguments at the heart of the health-care case have to leave the government — and the Obama administration — a little worried.
According to the early WSJ reports out of the courtroom, Justice Kennedy, largely viewed as the swing vote in the case. said Tuesday the government has a “very heavy burden of justification” to show where the Constitution authorizes the Congress to change the relation of individuals to the government."
