The association said the decision to strike the mandate but uphold the rest of the law by a three-judge panel in a case brought by a small business group and 26 state attorneys general was “incorrect” as it provides line-item veto power to the judicial branch.
“Severance of the individual mandate represents judicial activism at its zenith. It allows the courts to have a judicial line-item veto and to determine the content of a law after it has been enacted,” wrote the association in the brief.
