Reviews

Excellent. -- Wall Street Journal Blackman has written a deeply researched, highly readable account of the conservative challenge to the ACA, which, as a recent law graduate, he witnessed from the inside. -- American Prospect A young legal scholar delivers an impressive blow-by-blow account of the court battle to defeat the Affordable Care Act... With his strong connections among the conservative and libertarian lawyers who mounted the constitutional challenge and his talent for translating arcane legal-speak, Blackman more than capably captures this dramatic constitutional showdown. -- Kirkus Reviews Blackman, law professor, blogger, and representative of a coalition of independent business interests opposed to the program, spent more than two years following the legislative process that produced Obamacare and the legal challenges to the program. Blackman argues that the process was unprecedented in many ways... Blackman also explores the significance of the decision as a galvanizing issue for conservatives and future implications for challenges to government power. -- Booklist Blackman does a stellar job of calling out both parties for their flip-flopping with respect to the individual mandate. -- Publishers Weekly

[Blackman] is a bit of a legal polymath. He can, with seeming ease, assimilate disparate streams of legal analyses, facts, political events, and government policy in service of his arguments. -- Philadelphia Inquirer
