#SCOTUScare: Congressman Wants to Serve SCOTUS a Helping of Obamacare

by Kim Hirsch in Headlines 2 Comments

Conservatives were infuriated this past week when the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act in King v. Burwell. Justice Antonin Scalia, who eloquently dissented from the majority, denounced the decision as “SCOTUScare,” something that, ironically enough, does not require members of the Supreme Court or their staff to acquire for themselves.

If U.S. Representative Brian Babin (R-TX) has his way, that exemption would not stand.

The Congressman introduced the ‘SCOTUScare Act,’ H.R. 2905, which eliminates their exemption and requires the entire court and staff to sign up for Obama– er — SCOTUScare.

Babin issued the following statement:

“As the Supreme Court continues to ignore the letter of the law, it’s important that these six individuals understand the full impact of their decisions on the American people. That’s why I introduced the SCOTUScare Act to require the Supreme Court and all of its employees to sign up for Obamacare. By eliminating their exemption from Obamacare, they will see firsthand what the American people are forced to live with!”

The entire text of the bill can be found at the Congressman’s website.

Wouldn’t that be delicious? Forcing the Supreme Court to a heaping helping of their Jiggery-Pokery pudding, accompanied by a healthy serving of Pure Applesauce to cleanse the palate.

It is a good idea, which is why the hard left GOP Establishment and their Chamber of Commerce puppet-masters will block it. Priority #1 for Boehner and McConnell is to protect the titanic Federal bureaucracy at all costs.
