All that Democrat rejoicing about the ‘thumbs-down’ decision was a little premature.
Conservatives objected to Obamacare for a whole host of reasons — especially the part about forcing Americans to pay money for a product whether they wanted it or not.
And now the Court has ruled on it.
Obama was hailed as some sort of a ‘Constitutional Scholar’. So this court decision will be particularly significant to both him and his legacy.
Hillary, just yesterday, was tweeting this reminder:
Do you or someone in your life need affordable health care? The deadline to enroll in Obamacare is tomorrow. Spread the word: https://t.co/3Ll40AaneO

Maybe she should have held off for the Judge’s ruling before sending that out.
The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was struck down by a Texas judge on Friday, a move that could suddenly disrupt the health insurance status of millions of Americans. The decision comes amid a six-week open enrollment period for the program.
Texas, along with 19 states, had argued to U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor that they had been hurt by a jump in the amount of people utilizing state-backed insurance. When Congress cut the tax penalty from the program in 2017, the states claimed, it essentially undercut the Supreme Court’s reasoning for finding former President Barack Obama’s signature legislation constitutional in 2012.
“The remainder of the ACA is non-severable from the individual mandate, meaning that the Act must be invalidated in whole,” O’Connor wrote in a 55-page opinion, according to Bloomberg. O’Connor is a conservative Republican appointee who previously blocked other Obama-era policies.

As I predicted all along, Obamacare has been struck down as an UNCONSTITUTIONAL disaster! Now Congress must pass a STRONG law that provides GREAT healthcare and protects pre-existing conditions. Mitch and Nancy, get it done!

Wow, but not surprisingly, ObamaCare was just ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL by a highly respected judge in Texas. Great news for America!

How did the Dems react to an esteemed judge’s ruling? The same way they react any time they don’t get their way. They demonized him.
“Today’s ruling is an assault on 133 million Americans with pre-existing conditions, on the 20 million Americans who rely on the A.C.A.’s consumer protections for health care, on America’s faithful progress toward affordable health care for all Americans,” Xavier Becerra, California’s attorney general, said in a statement, according to The New York Times. “The A.C.A. has already survived more than 70 unsuccessful repeal attempts and withstood scrutiny in the Supreme Court.”
It turns out McCain’s “Thumbs-down” last act of defiance against Trump wasn’t the last word, after all, was it?
Merry Christmas, America. You just got a more limited government for Christmas.
