Once again, the Republican’s stupidity is on display for all to see.
The Democrats - if they win, they win big. If they lose, their story - that it was a drafting error - has been told over and over and over since the case was first accepted for review.
The truth - which is that state-funded exchanges were a necessary compromise to pass the bill, and that that fact is well documented in floor debates and in the press - how many times have McConnell and Boehner said that? Have they EVER said it?
So, when “emergency legislation” is introduced to “correct the drafting error”, what will the Republicans do then?
SC decision doesn’t matter. If Obamacare subsidies survive, the system will soon collapse. If the ruling goes the other way, the Pubbies - at least enough of the “moderates” - will vote for a temp fix to avoid having the media say bad things about them. That “temp” fix will become an annual thing - like the doc fix or a continuing budget resolution. Anything to avoid being associated with the conservatives.
