What exactly are he and Barr up to at this moment for them to toss out this pointless hunk of red meat?

It's just how it lined up in the queue. They ran out of time. They have to file or accept the lower court's ruling. They've been working on it since they reduced the ACA penalty (technically a tax) to zero back in 2017. The whole thing hinges on that. The SCOTUS won't take it up until after the election, I figure, if they take it up at all.

If the SC even takes that up would be surprising. If they do and choose to follow through on his wishes, the mental gymnastics will be epic. A silver lining to this might be that Biden will have a chance of implementing Medicare for All as a result.

The case has already been accepted by the Supreme Court-the news is that the DOJ recently filed a brief in that case.
 
I'm wishing a little the SC calls Trump and the Republicans bluff. Ok boys it end Dec 31. Make that ruling Oct 1.
 
I'm honestly shocked it made it this far. If it was important, the legislature could have added a provision that certain components are non-severable. As Roberts said, it's not SCOTUS' job to repeal the law in total if they don't like it.

The idea that Congress thought a mandate that carried no consequences for non-compliance was so vital to the function of a law that the entire thing must be struck down without it is something that literally no one actually believes.

Anyone who votes this way is substituting their own policy preferences for the law and then making up fan fiction to justify it. No one should indulge them and pretend to believe it.
 
If they spent half as much time on thinking about how to replace or improve the ACA as it stands as they do on trying to tear it the fuck down, we MIGHT have a something of a decent health care plan in this country.

Let me guess .. Give 'em 2 weeks?
 
Let them, and then Biden and Democrats can declare war on COVID and use that to enshrine healthcare as a national defense initiative and use it to bolster military healthcare as well (i.e. remember when McCain - who is from AZ and bragged about visiting the hospital that set off the complaint - tried to blame Obama for the state of VA healthcare?). Then let Republicans try and twist that shit out. Either they're for fucking healtcare of the military, standing against national defense, or just plain hate America.

Bonus is they can use the Rubs own lies against them by saying that if a country should view unleashing such a disease as a means of attacking America, that we need to be prepared for it.
