[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a critical ACA case on the docket this fall.  Amy Barrett is on record that she believes the ACA is unconstitutional.  She would be the swing vote to make it 5-4 to strike it down.  The ACA is extreme  popular and it’s protection was key to the Ds win in the house in 2018.  Ds need to make this about protecting the ACA.[/quote]

Arguments in the ACA case start Nov. 10 -- is it likely a new SCOTUS justice would be confirmed by then? And if not, she wouldn't have a vote in that case, right?[/quote]

Right now it looks like republicans will try to confirm before the election on Nov. 3.  Certainly no guarantee they will get it done by then, but it’s enough of a possibility to make it a clear election issue.[/quote]

Nah, it's happening during the lame duck.  They're just going to try and run on th Court and Democratic "obstruction".  But it's a double edged sword.  If everyone knows that they ar doing it during the lame duck then it doesn't matter who wins the election.  People can safely vote against Trump's incompetence and not have to worry about the seat.  [/quote]

So republicans will say it doesn’t matter to the ACA because their anti-ACA pick won’t get a chance to vote on this specific case?  Ok, if the debate is over how soon their pick will take away preexisting conditions protections, I think that’s a debate democrats will love to have.[/quote]

RBGs death already killed it.  The vote is now 4-4 which means the lower court ruling killing it stands.  [/quote]

The 5th Circuit didn’t strike down the whole law.  It remanded to the district court to analyze which ACA provisions should be struck down.  So a 4-4 would just let the district court do that, and then that decision would be appealed.[/quote]
