(670 posts)They did the right things for all the wrong reasons. They couldn't care less about the insurance status of millions of Americans. The thinking here was that if they took out Obamacare, then the fuming masses who FINALLY had semi-decent health coverage were going to rightly look at the group that took it away for answers.
Republican presidential candidates have been dreading this going the other way for a while. They were terrified millions would lose their health insurance because they have no story to tell regarding what they would do differently. Hillary and Bernie do. Hillary came out for single payer in 2008 and we all know where Bernie stands. So all those people who would have gotten screwed would have had a choice between a party with candidates who had a clear vision on middle class-friendly health care and a party that never says anything but tort reform.
Scalia, Thomas, and Alito just continue to prove that it doesn't matter what the issue is, they refuse to go against orthodoxy no matter who it kills. It's unbelievable that three such sociopaths could even stay out of jail much less end up on the Supreme Court.
