Supreme Court Breakfast Table

VERRILLI VINDICATED! 'Best Term A Solicitor General Has Ever Had'
WASHINGTON - JANUARY 07: Attorney Donald B. Verrilli, Jr. speaks in front of the U.S. Supreme Court after arguments January 7, 2007 in Washington DC. The lethal injection protocol used to execute death-row inmates in the state of Kentucky is being challenged as cruel and unusual because it is potentially extremely painful if the first injection, sodium thiopental, wears off too quickly.

The most important thing about Thursday’s ruling in King v. Burwell, of course, is that critically important health insurance subsidies are saved for more than 6 million Americans. And that, in turn, will save the functioning of the health insurance market in states across the country. But I have a more parochial observation: This may be the greatest Supreme Court term any solicitor general has ever had.
