The debate over healthcare reform is finally being heard before the Supreme Court this week in what some courtroom analysts are calling a marathon three-day session of oral arguments.

That only goes to underscore the complexity, but also the gravity of the issues the law presents. After what feels like an eternity of name-calling and recriminations by political pundits, the law will finally receive some measured and intelligent debate that is missing at times in much of the rhetoric to date.

This won't be Gore v. Bush. It is a political hot potato, but the court is under no rush to judgment as it was in that case.
