Trump will urge Supreme Court to strike down Obamacare

[RandySF]

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said his administration will urge the Supreme Court to overturn Obamacare, maintaining its all-out legal assault on the health care law amid a pandemic that will drive millions of more Americans to depend on its coverage.

The administration appears to be doubling down on its legal strategy, even after Attorney General Bill Barr this week warned top Trump officials about the political ramifications of undermining the health care safety net during the coronavirus emergency.

Democrats two years ago took back the House of Representatives and statehouses across the country by promising to defend Obamacare, in particular its insurance protections that prevent sick people from being denied coverage or charged more because of a health condition. The issue may prove to be even more salient in November amid the Covid-19 outbreak that health experts believe will persist through the fall.

The Justice Department has a Wednesday deadline to file a brief in a case brought by Republican-led states. Trump told reporters Wednesday afternoon his administration will stand by its position.

...Barr was the one telling the meeting they need to stand down on this issue.
It was the CNN crawl. When Barr thinks this goes to far, it's too far!

10. For Barr, it's a political question, not a legal one...

He is at least smart enough to know that the optics on this aren't the best for Repubs.

Because they know the Republicans would get destroyed over this.

I fully expect the ACA to be gone by January 2021.
