Quote of the Day

The Supreme Court’s ruling that it was improperly coercive for the federal government to force states to expand Medicaid rolls or have federal funds withheld “truly breaks new ground. It’s the first time since the 1930s that the Supreme Court has invalidated a federal spending statute that gives money to states and attaches strings. A number of other federal spending programs that attach strings will now be attacked as coercive.”

— Harvard law professor Richard Fallon told The Washington Post.
