President Donald Trump has made many questionable decisions in recent weeks as he looks ahead to his increasingly difficult reelection campaign. But his administration's decision to forge ahead with its effort to invalidate the Affordable Care Act through the courts may go down as the decision that carried the most risk for Republicans up and down the ballot in 2020.
The GOP has been fighting to eviscerate Obamacare since it was passed a decade ago. But the effort to strip Americans of health care has never appeared more out of touch and tone deaf than it has during a pandemic, when more than 125,000 Americans have died, more than 2.4 million have been infected and many have lost their employer-sponsored health insurance in the waves of layoffs that have decimated the economy.
"The Administration's decision to submit this new brief is the wrong policy at the worst possible time as our nation is in the midst of a pandemic," she said of the new filing in a statement Friday."The Affordable Care Act remains the law of the land, and it is the Department of Justice's duty to defend it.
Trump has no influence here. Tell us why Congress is not acting.
How many Republicans are going to loose their seats if they pass this. Especially during a Pandemic!
Yet democrats don't want to protect us by refunding the police
The American legal system is the pimp & police are the whores they send to AfricanAmerican neighborhoods to spread dis-ease while stealing from and kidnapping & murdering it's citizens. JusticeInPolicing AbolishPolice DefundThePolice BlackLivesMatterUK Politics
Another nail in Donald's coffin.
Hasn't even 1% loyalty and patriotism to his country, all the 100% for interest wherever it were!!!!
Trump's unveiling the replacement right before the election! Good luck CreepyJoeBiden !
Have you reported on JoeBiden and BarackObama colluding to set up GenFlynn yet?
Its official try to become 'Murder'. Dont you get it ?! 🤔
Why is CNN NOT covering the treasonous actions of Trump regarding the Russian-sponsored attacks of the Taliban on US soldiers?
Look at his face ,this man is done ,HE IS BURNT OUT,BIG TIME !
This is not the time to bring out that 'special pen' in the middle of a pandemic. Too many risk falling through any cracks through any transition - not matter how well laid out he thinks his new healthcare system is!
This sounds like an up/down, hot/cold Cillizza special.
