(Unlike Rip van Sessions...)
Apparently the Democrat voters like being Grubered.
They seem to think it means their leaders are smart.
Last name is Cotton, and I am officially triggered.
He’s a RACIST You’re a RACIST and America is RACIST and I want money gimme mah money
The dhimmicrats couldn’t see two steps ahead and were only clever by half.
This has not been a good day for democrats.
Good for them.
But, they won’t say that ACA is completely UNConstitutional, regardless of the dirt NSA leaks provided on CJ Roberts to get him on board.
Any real USAian is able to read the Constitution, wherein DC has limited, enumerated powers. DC has no such authority.
he is lying or wrong about O’Bama arguing the Mandate was a Tax — John Roberts came up with that by himself.
In actuality it is a Bill of Attainder — forbidden by our Constitution.
Sleepy is right about eliminating it though, and it would be closest thing to a tax break most middle-class would get.
What a great week this has been.
Cotton feeding the rats their own words about Obozo Care:!
Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) on Wednesday responded to Democrats who are criticizing the Senate Republican tax reform bill for repealing Obamacare’s individual mandate, reminding them how the Obama administration argued before the Supreme Court that the requirement is a tax.
Speaking on the Senate floor, Cotton addressed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D., N.Y.) comments earlier in the day that Republicans are “injecting health care into the tax bill” by including a repeal of the individual mandate, which forces most Americans who do not have health care to pay a fine.
“I would remind him, and all of the other Democrats who have been denouncing this decision on the Senate Finance Committee, that the individual mandate is a tax, according, not to me, not to Republicans, but to the Obama administration,” Cotton said. “That is what they argued in 2012 to the Supreme Court even though, he contended, throughout the debate on Obamacare in 2009 and 2010 that it wasn’t a tax.”
Back in 2009, then-President Barack Obama repeatedly pushed back against the notion that the individual mandate is a tax, saying in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that it is “absolutely not a tax increase.”
Sessions is woke; he is also obviously compromised and controlled.
Better to pick Cotton than to be a slave for the mandate!
Does that have a ring to it, or what?
Cotton voted for cloture to allow passage of the funding for the bill with 51 votes. We still remember this swamp creature here in Arkansas.
It’s not a tax. It’s an Individual Shared Responsibility Payment.
Sharing is good, and so is responsibility. How can this be a bad thing?
