I think we can expect to see articles such as this with increasing frequency as we approach the June recess of the court and the announcement of its decision in this King v Burwell case.
The author says he’s confident the decision will favor upholding the government’s position that subsidies to those on federal exchanges are lawful. He’s whistling past the graveyard IMHO and likely anticipates the plaintiffs winning. He (and others) are trying to lay the groundwork for what follows.
What SHOULD follow is to let Obamacare quickly descend into its financial death spiral. What I fear will follow is that McConnell and the RINOs will unite with the ‘RATS to rescue Obamacare.
In any case, I think we can expect to see much more of these efforts to shape the battlefield.
Spot on. It’s Obamacare and better/more accurately Democratcare until full repeal. I don’t see it hurting the GOP. Let them send bill after bill repealing it to Obama. Let Dems in Congress vote against it again and again. No Republican voted for it.
Yes, the piece is agitation propaganda (agit prop).
People who allow themselves to be riled up by it are acting with the author’s desired intent.
Karl Rove is now largely a MEDIA figure, much like that old Republican senator Alan Simpson....Wyoming. Used to be half way decent conservative but then after he left office became a big time kook.
