We all know Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson likes to sue the Trump administration. He’s done it now a total of 80 times — a rate of nearly once every other week since Donald Trump took office.
As Ferguson delights in pointing out on his website, this exceeds the 49 times that the top attorneys for the state of Texas sued President Obama back when he was president.
But there’s a court fight going on right now where by a strange quirk Ferguson entered on the side of the federal government, and it could end up being the most consequential of all — especially now that the U.S. Supreme Court is likely to tilt further to the right.
Remember Obamacare? And how we fought about it like tri-corner-hatted revolutionaries for the past decade?
It’s ba-ack — with our state, and its 825,000 Obamacare beneficiaries, in the middle of the fray.
“Before Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, I would have described my outlook on this case as ‘concerned but confident,’ ” Ferguson told me Tuesday. “Now, I’m just deeply concerned.”(snip)
“It’s an obsession with some folks on the right,” Ferguson said. “I honestly don’t understand it.

I think it must still be a fire-up-the-base kind of issue.”

also, he is not personally suing, he is wasting taxpayer dollars on frivolous and ultimately losing
Try going to one of the cutting edge cancer treatment centers with an obamacare card.
Oh really? It's only been operating for less than 10 years. Excluding the medicaid expansion, it only serves 10 million people (3.3% of the population). At an average tax payer cost of $25,000 per person in subsidies! It's a complete and total failure.
Ferguson is an AOC wannabe. Every day he is in top contention for “Anti-intellectual Queen for the Day”.
I’m not going to say drooling morons.

I have a friend that’s a very successful real estate developer. His healthcare premiums went from $300.00 per month with a $10k deductible for him and his wife to $5k per month with the same deductible. He has to stay with it because his wife is a cancer survivor.
