Boy, look out now. Sen. Susan Collins is so concerned about Donald Trump's decision to have the Justice Department ask the courts to obliterate the Affordable Care Act, she's writing a letter. She catapulted right over getting an empty promise from Mitch McConnell for ... something at the highest point on the Fret Level advisory scale.
In her letter to Attorney General William Barr, the Maine Republican said she is in "profound disagreement" with his decision to go along with Trump on the suit. "This surprising decision goes well beyond the position taken by the Department last June," she wrote, and it jeopardizes "critical consumer provisions" of the law. "The Administration should not attempt to use the courts to bypass Congress," she scolded.
Well, yeah, and none of us should have to worry that there's a Supreme Court that could very well overturn the law, but we have to now, don't we? Because there's now an unqualified beer-guzzling alleged sexual assaulter on the bench, thanks to Collins. And here we are.
"The Administration," she writes, "should reconsider its decision and defend the remainder of the ACA." Because, boy, she's so distressed, she's written a letter. That should do the trick.
