Once again, regarding the ACA, there is something that I have to say.
Today, the Supreme Court refused to expedite the ACA lawsuit. This means that the case will not be heard by the Supreme Court in 2020 and still remains in the original trial court.
This isn't a surprise.
And contrary to people say, this isn't a victory for the GOP.
See, it is thought that it would be awful for the GOP if they had to deal with a Supreme Court case during the 2020 election.
And maybe it would have been.
But it is not good for the GOP to have this case ongoing It is a reminder to the American people that the GOP is trying to take people's healthcare away. And that is because of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his fellow red state cohorts, who brought this lawsuit..
The GOP, however, knows that this lawsuit is a loser for them. The appeals court punted this case back to the trial court like a hot potato. And GOP legislators want to run away from this like the plague.
Democrats need to put the pressure on and be relentless about it. Democrats have the winning hand on this and need to start acting like it.
In the end, the ACA will be upheld in the Supreme Court down the road when this case makes its way there, whenever it does. We are 2-0 at the Supreme Court and will be 3-0 after this case.
But in the meanwhile, we need to relentless against those who are working to take away our healthcare, as well as those who enable them and those who want to run away from this lawsuit that they know is deeply unpopular.
And that is the GOP at all levels.
Embrace this, Democrats. There is no excuse not to. You will win on this if you want to.
But we need to be relentless Nothing less is acceptable
