    Pelosi should attach repeal of the individual mandate to the CR, forcing the pending ACA SC case moot.
    Hasn't the fine already been repealed meaning there really is no mandate?

    I knew Obamacare was never going to be successful. You need everybody to buy in to it to keep the premiums reasonably priced and that wasn't gonna happen. Young people were electing to pay the fine.

    So it's either full blown universal health care or keep it how it is. Not a fan of it, but the Republican party will have to start budging on a few things to please a changing electorate. So I think this is where we are headed, as healthcare seems to be a big priority according to the pollsters. Often 2nd behind the economy.
    Yet it’s approval rating hovers anywhere from 60 to 52% depending on the mood of the country.

    Just try taking something the majority of Americans like without even having something to replace it immediately and see what happens.

    I pretty much agree except “how it is” is untenable for a large portion of the population.

    Obamacare was very successful in changing the status quo on healthcare and being the foot in the door that ultimately gets us to single payer. Now there’s a consensus that people with pre-existing conditions need protection and that letting private health insurance companies do whatever they want is a disaster. Obamacare is what led to that consensus.

    Roberts previously ruled that the mandate effectively cons uted a tax because of the fine and thus it was a cons utional usage of Congress’s power to tax.

    The new argument is that since there’s no longer a fine then it’s not a tax, the mandate is thus uncons utional, and since it’s a quintessential part of Obamacare then the entire ACA should go away with it.

    Its a ridiculous bad faith argument seeing that a Republican majority in Congress passed separate legislation to nix the individual mandate but to leave the rest of the ACA intact. SCOTUS ruling in favor of elminating Obamacare would basically set the precedent that the majority in congress can have any existing legislation previously passed by the other party tossed out in court by intentionally passing an amendment that makes a small part of it uncons utional.

    Read the full article, he more or less calls McConnell out for previously telling senators not to bring it up.

    The nominee is going to get confirmed no matter what, but it would be huge if she was forced to explicitly say on the record that she is against Roe.

    It would be a gift to democrats if the nominee is forced to say it which of course she won't be.

    Hawley is on the judiciary committee. I say whichever Democrat goes before him greases the wheel with questions that make the nominee equivocate about Roe. That might bait hawley into something.

    It's going to come up one way or another. Don't worry about that. Now if the nominee were to explicitly say the she was going to crush it then that would be something. But the nominees are all smart enough to answer only with a wink and a nod of sorts.
