FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 13, 2012 -- The Las Vegas Chapter of The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies will host a luncheon at noon on Friday, Feb. 24, entitled “Obamacare: the Constitutional Issues Surfacing from the Most Controversial Legislation of our Time.”

The lunch presentation, led by Mark Hutchison, co-founding partner of the Las Vegas law firm Hutchison & Steffen, LLC, will focus on the factual background and legal issues involved in the lawsuit brought by 26 states challenging the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).

WHAT: The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies luncheon with Mark Hutchison on “Obamacare: the Constitutional Issues Surfacing from the Most Controversial Legislation of our Time.”

WHEN: Friday, Feb. 24, at noon

WHERE: Fogo de Chao Churrascaria Restaurant, 360 E. Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, Nev.

The legal bases for the court decisions that struck down provisions of the ACA will also be evaluated and compared with the decisions of other federal courts which have considered challenges to the ACA. Finally, the issues that the U.S Supreme Court will consider, the unprecedented time allocated to oral argument for those issues, and the potential resolution of the case will be addressed in Hutchison’s presentation and subsequent Q&A session.

General admission to the luncheon is $35. State, county and city attorneys as well as students are invited to attend at a discounted rate of $15 per person. Members of the media are invited to attend the luncheon at no cost.

The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of conservatives and libertarians interested in the current state of the legal order. It is founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. The Society seeks both to promote an awareness of these principles and to further their application through its activities.
