Reporting from Washington
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicts that the Supreme Court will rule, by a 6-3 vote, to uphold the healthcare law that she helped enact in 2010, though she acknowledged that you never know what the court will do.
Speaking Tuesday at a luncheon at the Paley Center for Media in New York, Pelosi criticized Republican opponents of the law for asking the court to overturn it when the GOP typically objects to judicial intervention.
They were not big fans of the courts until now, Pelosi said. Now, they support judicial review.
Pelosi, a California Democrat who is now minority leader, said she was confident that the bill could withstand the challenge because we wrote the bill in an ironclad way.
