“The Constitution is not an organism; it’s a legal text, for Pete’s sake,” Former Justice Antonin Scalia said. “Unless you give [the laws] the meaning of those who enacted them, you’re destroying democracy.”
Following the Supreme Court’s 4-4 ruling on the Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association case, Curt Levey, the Executive Director of FreedomWorks Foundation and veteran of multiple Supreme Court nomination fights, commented:
The death of Justice Antonin Scalia sent shockwaves through the conservative movement, and everyone, regardless of their philosophic persuasion, is trying to figure out what the loss of this conservative icon means for the future of the Supreme Court and the Constitution. It is likely, however, that the answer will not come until November.
Following President Obama’s announcement that he intends to nominate a candidate to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant after the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia, FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon commented:
The newly handed-down Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act has garnered a great deal of debate. The 6-3 vote in favor of the administration does nothing to fix the unworkable flaws that remain and continue to largely define Obamacare. No matter the lens used to view the ACA, the prognosis is bad.
FreedomWorks Foundation -- whose Constitution Defense Fund filed a friend-of-the-court legal brief in the historic ObamaCare lawsuit -- will be covering the ruling in that closely watch case live from the Supreme Court steps when it's handed down. We expect this to occur on THURSDAY, JUNE 28, at around 10:15AM ET. Be sure to bookmark us and tune in.
UPDATE (6/25):
