Liberty's Challenge Revived



The Supreme Court has revived Liberty University’s challenge to President Obama's healthcare overhaul.
The Supreme Court ordered the federal appeals court in Richmond to consider Liberty’s claim that the health care law violates the school's religious freedoms.
Liberty has challenged the requirement that most individuals obtain health insurance or pay a penalty as well as a separate provision requiring many employers to offer health insurance to their workers.
The appeals court could ask the government and Liberty for new legal briefs to assess the effect of the Supreme Court ruling on Liberty's claims before rendering a decision.
