On March 2, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a case directly challenging the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. In the case, Texas v. United States, the Northern District of Texas ruled that the individual mandate in the ACA was unconstitutional, because the former tax penalty was reduced to zero dollars, and thus no longer a tax pursuant to Congress’s taxing power. The court then declared the entire ACA invalid because the individual mandate was an essential feature of the legislation.

I am hopeful that something good can and will emerge from our shared ordeal  It is with this in mind that I’m excited to announce a new social media campaign started by the Women and the Law Division Executive Committee – Find the Good. The goal of this campaign is to highlight IndyBar members who are finding good in life during this extraordinary time.
