Reformed Churchmen: SCOTUS Justices: Obamacare Vote 30 Mar 2012

Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month. December 2014: Alan Jacob's "Book of Common Prayer" at: http://www.amazon.com/Book-Common-Prayer-Biography-Religious/dp/0691154813/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417814005&sr=8-1&keywords=jacobs+book+of+common+prayer.

Justice Kenney describes the "Conference Room" where Justices present their arguments. On 30 Mar 2012, a vote was held on Obamacare, or, the Affordable Health Care Act.

On Friday, March 30, the justices of the Supreme Court went to conference on the cases for which they heard oral arguments earlier in the week for the health care law. In this clip, from a 2009 interview with C-SPAN, Justice Anthony Kennedy describes the conference.

One could, as a lawyer or scholar, become a "Supreme Court specialist." RA believes that about 75 SCOTUS decisions should be studied by undergraduates in a survey course.
