Congressman Upton is a moderate Republican who is chairman of one of Congress's most powerful committees. He has to deal with the far right of the Republican Party and the far left of the Democratic Party on his committee. It will very interesting to watch him work this mine field. The other interesting question is will the US Supreme Court expedite this issue and rule on lower federal court rulings on the Obama health care proposals. With the Court deal with constitutional issues versus the practical application issues of this law--in other words will they only deal with the issue of whether a law may force citizens to purchase health care insurance? If yes then can states force one to purchase automobile liability insurance? Life insurance? This will be a fascinating debate inside the Court and outside the Supreme Court.
Three branches of government clashing over a very big, big issue: Judiciary, Executive and Legislative. Classic confrontation and maybe a constitutional crisis between the powers of the three branches of Government.
