Constitutional Right

New Jersey, together with other states, has recently been receiving numerous applications for writs of habeas corpus in which prisoners allege denial of their constitutional right to religious freedom, denial of due process, illegal confinement, and other grievances.

The Way

This paper examines the 2012 US Supreme Court consideration of the Affordable Care Act, and the resulting judgment, with a view to learning what lessons this landmark case can afford us into the way in which the US Supreme Court works, so helping us forecast its decisions. Although this is simply one judgment among many, a case is advanced here that the details of the way that the judgment was made can be used to help arbitrate between conflicting interpretations in the literature as to the way that the US Supreme Court reaches its decisions. It is argued that consideration of this case does provide particular insights which might usefully improve forecasts of future Supreme Court decisions.
