Tea Party Sees Ruling As New Rallying Cry

Some of the earliest and most vocal opponents of President Obama’s health care law were members of the Tea Party. In fact, health care quickly became the issue fueling the rise of the movement.

Anger over the Affordable Care Act drove the Tea Party and Republicans to big gains in the 2010 elections, but since then the movement has seen its prominence and influence wane.

Now, Tea Party activists say the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the law will reignite that original passion in time for this fall’s election.
