McConnell Is Pushing Through Another Trump Judge Who’s Gunning for Obamacare

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.

Fwiw, I’m really GLAD that Wilson feels that way & soon will be a federal judge. = We NEED more TRUTH-TELLERS on the bench.

Sounds like my kind of judge. McConnell should roll the red carpet for this one.

[Mr. Lucky]

Be still my heart.

[Mr. Lucky]

I thought Slate was dead.

It could be; it reads like It's published in Hell.

[JayGalt]

Cory T. Wilson, of Mississippi, to be United States Circuit Judge for the Fifth Circuit
I’m thinking this one.

[FLT-bird]

Excellent! Push him through ASAP Turtle!

[fortheDeclaration]

they would have except for the treason of McCain

[fortheDeclaration]

But probably the most important! We have seen that in recent court decisions that have gone our way.

[Rembrandt]

The way the Dems rammed thru the ACA act ( I guess we’ll just have to read it...), I have nothing but contempt for their arguments on medical/insurance issues.

" 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.”

Just to recap your well thought-out, but possibly incomplete, list...

Wilson called Barack Obama:

1. “King Barack,:
2. “petty and small,”
3. “a fit-throwing teenager,”
4. the “Anointed One,”
5. a “radical leftist,”
6. “shrill,
7. dishonest, and,
8. intellectually bankrupt.”

He charged Obama with running the “most paranoid and politicized White House since Nixon.”

He has also called Hillary Clinton:

1. “Crooked Hillary,”
2. “criminal",
3. "clueless,” and,
4. either “felony dumb or willfully ignorant.”

If this obviously intelligent gentleman is confirmed, one would hope that at some point he would have an opportunity to take the gloves off and smack Roberts up side the head...

So, telling the truth about obama and Hillary is being partisan?

The TRUTH cannot be partisan. But, the truth reveals those opposed to the truth, by the truth-haters lashing back at the truth-tellers.

How refreshingly frank and honest.

[WASCWatch]

This judge gets an A+ for wisdom and discretion.

I wonder how RBG is doing on the Supreme Court and how many more months she has left. I hope she decides to retire before she is carried out, so she can have a few quite months of peace and reflection.

‘Can we move on from dreaming of the ACA being killed?’

Where have you been?

Congress killed the penalty a while back. Then a TX Federal judge ruled it unconstitutional. And now the Supremes are about to rule on that TX case, likely to evaporate it out of existence.

[DoodleDawg]

Obamacare will probably be history next year anyway.
