Tweets Of The Day -- Supreme Court And Obamacare Redux

News item:

The Supreme Court will hear a third challenge to the Affordable Care Act, this time at the request of Democratic-controlled states that are fighting a lower court decision that said the entire law must fall.

The court’s review will come in the term that begins in October, which would not leave time for a decision before the November presidential election. The law remains in effect during the legal challenges.

The cliffhanger of agreeing to hear the case, but on a timeline that pushes the decision past the election, is the worst of all worlds for Republicans. https://t.co/LmmV99jk4Q

A Supreme Court oral argument about the future of Obamacare, possibly in October right before the election, will put Trump's plan to throw millions off their insurance front and center and make Supreme Court voters out of millions of people.

There is a good chance that SCOTUS will hear this case in October 2020, shortly before the November election, which means the Trump administration will be asking the Supreme Court to obliterate Obamacare just as voters prepare to cast their ballots.

This is the way to write the headline. After all, Trump’s DOJ is going into court trying to undo what Congress has done—and strip people of their preexisting conditions coverage. It’s outrageous. https://t.co/nmyHlbf0lc

Imagine arguing before the Supreme Court that people should lose health care this week.

because nothing says "I'm fighting a pandemic" more than getting the Supreme Court to help you deny healthcare to poor people

Thanks, Republicans, for helping Democrats keep the health care issue front and center in the 2020 election!
