McConnell Is Pushing Through Another Trump Judge Who’s Gunning for Obamacare
Slate.com ^ | 5/20/20 | MARK JOSEPH STERN

Wilson might as well have been hatched in a Federalist Society lab; his lengthy political record reveals a deep commitment to Republicans’ political goals. Alliance for Justice, a progressive group that has opposed most of Trump’s judicial nominees, compiled a record of Wilson’s many controversial positions. Examples of his partisanship are not difficult to find. Wilson called Barack Obama “King Barack,” “petty and small,” “a fit-throwing teenager,” the “Anointed One,” a “radical leftist,” and “shrill, dishonest, and intellectually bankrupt.” He charged Obama with running the “most paranoid and politicized White House since Nixon.” He has also called Hillary Clinton “Crooked Hillary,” “criminal and clueless,” and either “felony dumb or willfully ignorant.”

Then there’s Wilson’s loathing for the ACA. He has called the law “illegitimate,” “perverse,” “big intrusive government” that “is less about healthcare than it is about redistribution of wealth and power.” In 2012, he declared: “For the sake of the Constitution, I hope the Court strikes down the law and reinvigorates some semblance of the limited government the Founders intended.” He has tweeted about his enmity toward the ACA 30 times.

No controversy there. An accurate assessment.

He’s hired.

Mitch campaigned on repealing it - give us a congressional majority and we will repeal it. We did. They didn't.

Yeah...give us nookie tonight and we will love you in the morning. Well, the part about us getting screwed certainly happened.

Well! They say it like it's a bad thing.
