Pelosi and Biden with the right message. Affordable, quality healthcare is a huge issue in this election. Trump and the GOP have ZERO credibility on healthcare. Focus on the GOP’s looming destruction of the ACA by The Handmaiden. Tar-and-feather Trump and the GOP with their “cheaper and better” chickensh*t.

I don’t want to be the skunk at the party, but RBG could have prevented this by retiring early in Obama’s 2nd term. Instead, she chose to play Russian Roulette with her legacy, the future of the court, and the future of the country. I just hope that future presidents and SCOTUS justices will take the lesson of this episode to heart.

Yeah, sneaky way for them to check who actually reads the whole article and doesn’t just go straight to the comment boards and bitch about the headline.

I like this plan of attack on Trump and Ms. Barrett. There is no doubt that Roe v. Wade is in her crosshairs, but far fewer people realize that the Affordable Care Act is also on the line here. Biden needs to make the point that 1) Trump’s choice will throw 100 million off their health insurance in the midst of a pandemic of historic proportions, and 2) Trump and the GOP have had a decade to draft an alternative plan and have NOTHING to show for it. Further, anything they could come up with will not pass Nancy Pelosi’s epicurean smell test or the House.
Biden needs to think through how to respond to this next spring if the SCOTUS does indeed act against the ACA. I think a taxpayer-paid Medicare-for-All plan with small premiums (similar to Medicare Part B) would be in order and would easily pass a Democratic Congress. Further it could include a provision citing the US Constitution Article III, Section 2, Clause 2 stating that the new statute is deemed EXPLICITLY not reviewable by the Appellate Courts or the SCOTUS. This clause would be very hard for even a Judiciary packed by the GOP to overcome.

Odd, I was wondering what Lindsay will do if Biden wins. How quickly does that damp windsock change directions?

Simplest thing to do would be lower the age of Medicare eligibility to 60. Work out any issues that arrive. Then lower the age of eligibility to 55. Rinse and repeat.

It is clear that COVID killings are not enough to get Putin points so the attack on the AFA.

Independents in particular need to focus on this, if Trump win the ACA is dead, if Biden and the Democrats win no matter the SC decides, the new House and Senate can reenact the ACA and make it even better.

I expect a “President Biden is the best choice this country could have made. And does he has a sniveling, worm of a lackey position open?”

Great question, especially since he is on record heaping praise on Biden while excoriating Trump!
Maybe he will claim that he, like Lucius Malfoy, was under the imperius curse and really never liked Trump.

Somebody, somewhere, mentioned that Congress could make the lack of having coverage as a nominal tax, which would then make the current case moot. I don’t know if that’s accurate; anyone here that might know?

We are talking as though we won on Nov. 3. I do not mind it. We know that there is risk that we could fall short, but as long as we do our best and leave no stone unturned, that produces better frames of mind.
OT The alternaive is, “We’ll probably lose”

Yeah, but some us sneaky bastards get around that by living in the Comments sections, but we go out to the article to hit “Like” when we see the word “Biden” in the headline at the start of the thread!

I done did the crawling; it was tough finding every dinky little circle for a Dem, but I did it. I also am trying to get rid of every white male judge here in Fla, so I marked all Latina and females for judges.
