According to the Washington Post<\/a><\/em>, Supreme Court Justices are predicting that the court may hear a case on the health care reform bill recently passed into law.<\/p>\n From the Post<\/em>:<\/p>\n Justice Stephen Breyer predicted Thursday that the Supreme Court will one day pass judgment on this year’s health care overhaul.<\/p>\n Breyer told a congressional panel that the massive health care law, like most major federal legislation, is a good candidate for high court review.
