In anticipation of the six hours or oral argument scheduled for the health reform cases on Monday through Wednesday of next week, many commentators have written about the issues and how the Supreme Court might decide the cases. Among the numerous pieces that have been published recently, these are notable:

• Lyle Denniston’s analysis pieces (I and II and III and IV) in SCOTUSblog consider various aspects of the health cases
• Linda Greenhouse writes in the New York Times that the constitutional case against the ACA is “analytically so weak that it dissolves on close inspection. “
• Dahlia Lithwick argues that the ACA argument will have less to do with law than with “optics politics and public opinion”
• Randy Barnett suggests Justice Scalia’s past opinions to not mean he will vote to uphold ACA
• Marty Lederman examines the arguments of ACA challengers and responds to Barnett

Ongoing coverage of the health care cases continues at numerous blogs, including HealthLawProf Blog and Health Care at the High Court.
