A House Republican on Thursday proposed forcing the Supreme Court justices and their staff to enroll in ObamaCare.

Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) said that his SCOTUScare Act would make all nine justices and their employees join the national healthcare law’s exchanges.

“As the Supreme Court continues to ignore the letter of the law, it’s important that these six individuals understand the full impact of their decisions on the American people,” he said.

“That’s why I introduced the SCOTUScare Act to require the Supreme Court and all of its employees to sign up for ObamaCare,” Babin said.

Babin’s potential legislation would only let the federal government provide healthcare to the Supreme Court and its staff via ObamaCare exchanges.

“By eliminating their exemption from ObamaCare, they will see firsthand what the American people are forced to live with,” he added.

Sounds like Equal treatment under the Law, doesn't it ?

It would just be declared unconstitutional by the tyrants anyway

Will they have the guts to actually do it? I hope so.

So what...? THEY make enough to lave the country and go to some Swiss clinic, if they want

Congress is exempt too — include yourself!

[snowtigger]

Why don’t they include the Present and all of Congress, too?

We should be planning on impeaching the Supreme Court scum if by some stroke of luck a true conservative is elected president and enough Rinos can be made to feel the anger of their constituents.

[Drango]

I like it.

Just talk, nothing will happen.

There are three chances of this piece of proposed legislation ever making it into law - fat, slim and none at all.

Short of having it imposed upon them by a raging mob, the ruling class is not going to artificially handicap themselves just to please a minority of their constituency. They would, of course, handicap everybody else to please a minority, just as long as they do not have to face the consequences.

The fracture lines across the territory once known as “the United States of America” have become widely apparent, and it is time to separate the “red” republics from the “blue” republics.

It is all nonsense; made in an effort to make voters think that there is correct movement and that their elected representatives are fighting. No, they have not been fighting. Does anyone really think that a Supreme Court justice will ever be seen in a hospital, sitting, waiting for their name to be called?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Poetic justice.

Worse than a bad Kabuki dance.

They could care less what the Average working American has to endure

Needs to apply to ALL federal employees. Nobody gets grandfathered, either.
