Right-Wing Lawyer Feigns Skepticism At Extreme Relief He’s Seeking In Affordable Care Act Attack

[noonm]

Trump appointee Judge Cory Wilson — along with his fellow Monday panel member and Trump appointee Don Willet, an avowed opponent of the Affordable Care Act — seemed to shrug at the idea of such expansive relief.

“You wouldn’t vacate these things just for people in Texas or just for the plaintiffs — if they’re invalid, they’re invalid,” he said to the Department of Justice lawyer.

Nationwide injunctions are a two-way street. Wilson, and his fellow FedSoc Judges, will regret their logic once Democrats seriously get into the game.

I would bet this was another game of “let’s invent a complaint about an important ACA provision and then go find people willing to be our plaintiffs”.

It’s this one. Absolutely.

Bespoke means custom-made or custom-fitted – usually for one specific person. Pretty sure it’s not legalese as one sees it used in many contexts. I’m not sure it’s used correctly in this article, where it refers to customizing for a group

I agree with the sentiment but with a 6-3 majority courtesy of Team Unicorn, I find it unlikely there will be any regret for a very long time. We’re likely to be dead before that happens.

“White revanchists”, or more broadly, “Reactionaries” would certainly be more accurate

Why do we call the folks who want to break things, conservatives?

Bomb-throwing radicals.

I would call them nihilists, but I think they think that we shouldn’t mess with “God’s Plan”.

And why are the plaintiffs against free preventive testing? They think a cancer diagnosis is a gift from god?

No. They just want to destroy all healthcare regulations, for the same reason that they want to destroy public education.

It is tough living in a country where so many hate their brothers and sisters they don’t want them to screen for cancer to help them and to save all of us money by early diagnosis. These so called conservatives are monsters.

Bespoke is a tailoring term. With the interest in artisanal products or custom-solutions it’s become a fancy term for saying ‘custom’.

@discobot

a judge shopping two-step, where right-wing litigants identify hyper-partisan judges who get all or most of the cases in their division — see: U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo — and get a ruling from that one judge that dictates what the federal government can and can’t do.

Ma Nature is fighting back…

Well yeah. that’s why the dockets are suddenly crowded in Amarillo TX & East Bumphuque FL.

Makes sense. Where I most see it used is w/ haute couture

Marketers have taken over the term as a high class way of saying custom.
