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. The Affordable Care Act has become ingrained in our society, it’s widely used around the state and the controversial part of it is gone. But they’re going after it anyway. I think it must still be a fire-up-the-base kind of issue.”

THIS TIME FOR SURE!
>>He’s done it now a total of 80 times — a rate of nearly once every other week since Donald Trump took office... this exceeds the 49 times that the top attorneys for the state of Texas sued President Obama back when he was president.
President Trump hasn’t even been in office 4 years and Obama was there over 8 (don’t forget office of the president elect).
So he hasn’t actually sued Trump, has he? He is suing the Trump administration. The headline sullies Trump the man.
He definitely has that metrosexual look. Weenie.
“I honestly don’t understand it. The Affordable Care Act has become ingrained in our society”
Yes, it totally destroyed the U.S. healthcare system. Now I pay twice the premiums for less coverage and unbelievable bureaucracy to do anything. Now all you do is talk to a computer and wait months for a 10 minute appointment.
Yep, first class wimp.
His balls are da glo green but she plays with them anyway
From The Liberals!
Just ignore and shun them!
The “weenie” has pursued elderly women with lawsuits and prosecutions because they wouldn’t bake the cake.
He’s a twisted, demented psychopath bent of persecuting anyone who doesn’t agree with him. He belongs in a nuthouse for the criminally insane.
Yep. I can't afford to use my policy.
I had a catering business UNTIL Obama care I could not believe the cost of my premiums AND deductibles I couldn’t even use the insurance the deductible was so high!! Never mind the cost of insurance for my staff I closed up shop and got a job in the grocery industry just for the health insurance!! When these ASSHATS start screaming about the Affordable Care Act I want to SCREAM!! The ONLY damn people that had healthcare were the damn people getting it FREE while we could no longer afford it!, These people are truly SCUM and YET the American people seem just fine handing their healthcare over to the government so THEY dictate what care you get!, Just ask veterans what care they got BEFORE Trump!!
He’s a twisted, demented psychopath bent of persecuting anyone who doesn’t agree with him. He belongs in a nuthouse for the criminally insane.
If I were a taxpayer in his jurisdiction I would sue him for dereliction of duty.
The glove is new out of the box.
His TDS has cost taxpayers at least $10 million by my count.
I once beat sideshow Bob so bad it made him cry.
Not a joke.
What do you want to bet that this guy is backed by Soros?
Don’t most voters understand this?
