Senate Democrats' largely symbolic bid to cut off the Trump administration's support for a Supreme Court challenge to Obamacare failed as expected Thursday, but several Republicans facing tough reelections crossed party lines to back the measure.
On a conference call with reporters ahead of the vote, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called his GOP colleagues “the dog that caught the car” when it comes to the Affordable Care Act — citing years of failed repeal efforts that are now culminating in the high-stakes Supreme Court case without a viable replacement ready.
Earlier this week, Schumer filed a motion to vote on a bill blocking the Justice Department from supporting the Obamacare lawsuit, which was brought by a group of Republican-led states. With no Republican on the Senate floor to object, theMany Republican senators have sought to distance themselves from the Obamacare lawsuit, wary of reopening a fight over a health care law that’s grown more popular since the repeal effort failed three years ago.
They all voted to repeal with no replace, this just phony bullshit!
If Supreme Court Justices have any integrity at all they won't trash Obamacare just because Trump hates Barack Obama.
Democrats need to explain where federal funds over the years were not used to help improve impoverished conditions in major cities that breed outrageous crimes if they want to appear as honest and trustworthy leaders who will do better if elected.
Screw these losers. Trump can still be a great president even with a Dem senate.
