In reply to the discussion: GOP to White House: What's your ObamaCare backup plan if we win? [View all]Rstrstx
(1,399 posts)The Republicans, or more specifically the CATO Institute which has been behind these lawsuits, absolutely can't stand it that they don't know exactly how the Obama administration intends to go around them in the event the SCOTUS rules in favor of the plaintiffs (and I very much believe the administration's backup plan is something they are not going to like at all). It's like they can't figure out where they need to slap more glue onto their house of cards.
And in case anyone missed it, the SEIU submitted a beautifully devastating amicus brief to the court on Wednesday:

This has been my favorite brief so far on the case, easy to read but very competent, intended to show to a wide audience what a sham this whole affair is. The government's more technical response last week is also pretty competent - their best to date - but reads like it was written to appeal to an audience of one (we all know who).
