Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver will present oral argument the week of May 10-13, 2011, at the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Virginia, in the case of Liberty University v. Geithner. Liberty Counsel represents Liberty University and two private individuals. On the same day, the court of appeals will also hear the case of Commonwealth of Virginia v. Sebelius. The cases will be argued seriatim by each respective counsel.
Earlier this week Liberty Counsel, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Virginia Attorney General asked the court of appeals to set both cases the same day, and the court agreed. Liberty Counsel’s case is ahead of Virginia’s case in terms of the briefing schedule.
Virginia’s case challenges the individual mandate, while Liberty Counsel’s case challenges the individual and employer mandates. Liberty Counsel also raises other constitutional objections, including the First Amendment Free Exercise of Religion, the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the First Amendment Establishment Clause, and the Fifth Amendment Equal Protection Clause.
The ObamaCare lawsuit is on a fast track to the law's ultimate demise. This legislation represents an astonishing extension of the federal government into the personal and business decisions of Americans. If ObamaCare should be upheld by the courts, then there are no limits on what Congress can do.
