God save the United States and this honorable court. We will hear argument this morning in case 19 840, california versus texas and the consolidated case. Mr. Chief justice and may it please the court, this Court Construes section 5008 of the Affordable Care create choice. Either obtain the Health Insurance or pay the tax in 2017, in 72 congress did not change sub a or sub b. 5000 a still presents a choice. Either by insurance or do nothing. That provision does not harm anyone and it does not violate the constitution. Respondents insist the 2017 amendment requires the court to tear down the entire aca.

Government. Good afternoon, everyone. How are you all doing . Our topic for today is the second part of our civil war content for this semester. And i want to talk today about Economic Policy and social events that are tied to the economy. I have kind of titled this, feeding the confederacy. We will focus most of our attention on the Confederate States and we will talk about the crucial issue of how you make sure that your soldiers and your civilians have enough to eat over the course of the war. There are two key ironies of this confederate experience for me. And that historians who study the confederacy really point to. One is that the Confederate States of america is a predominantly agricultural nation. We have talked about this before. The vast majority of the population in the union and the confederacy are people who live on farms. But especially in the Confederate States.

Turning to the other issues in this case, the central feature your standing interveneors states, are you conceding the plaintiff states . No were not. You are in new orleans in the fifth telling us that the state of texas doesnt have standing to legitimate here, explain that. What is the distinction that licenses you to have a standing here. The judgment below would cost the defendant states hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funds. The state plaintiffs rely on a series of standing that they have not proved up.
