As the Supreme Court hears three days of oral arguments this week about the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), Sen. Mike Lee is doing his best to keep Americans apprised about what's happening at the high court.

As inconvenient as constitutional limits may seem, individual liberty requires that they be respected. In fact, it is precisely when temptation is greatest to disregard constitutional structures to achieve some national policy outcome that our Constitution’s limits must be enforced. As the Supreme Court once explained, though the Constitution’s restrictions may at times appear “formalistic” and may prohibit measures that are “the product of the era’s perceived necessity,” our founding document wisely “protects us from our own best intentions … so that we may resist the temptation to concentrate power in one location as an expedient solution to the crisis of the day.”

The Obama administration’s argument that the federal government can compel citizens to purchase health insurance did not appear to sway these five justices, and their questions to the Solicitor General suggested they look on the constitutionality of the individual mandate with great skepticism. It will be interesting to see how the justices respond to the 'severability’ arguments tomorrow, which will determine whether some or all of the law is struck down. But there is little doubt that the individual mandate will not survive.

Today, Senator Mike Lee released the third in a series of videos giving viewers an inside look at the Supreme Court, its procedures, and the constitutional issues surrounding ObamaCare that will be debated in the nation’s high court this week.
