A top small business trade association the National Federation of Independent Business had its day in court the Supreme Court.

It wants it to declare president Obama's Health Care Reform law unconstitutional.

And argued that congress exceeded its authority when it mandated that individuals purchase health insurance or pay the government a fine.
