John Boehner issued a warning to his caucus not to celebrate when the ACA would be struck down today.
There will be no spiking of the ball," Boehner wrote in the memo.
In a memo sent to his entire caucus Friday, Boehner warned members not to gloat over what most Republicans would see as a victory.
"[I]f the Court strikes down all or part of the president's health care law, there will be no spiking of the ball," Boehner wrote in the memo. "Republicans are focused on the economy—and under President Obama's policies, our economy is struggling. We will not celebrate at a time when millions of our fellow Americans remain out of work, the national debt has exceeded the size of our nation's economy, health costs continue to rise, and small businesses are struggling to hire."
Boehner also included a list of talking points for Republicans to use when discussing the debate over the federal government's regulation of health insurance markets and made an open invitation for members who want to join in the leadership's response effort when the court finally announces its decision.
