Isn't that great? The worst piece of Federal legislation of my lifetime survived because of one asshole...
Turns out those people were proven right today as a new Podesta email confirms that the Obama administration applied political pressure on Roberts to sway his decision: "it was pretty critical that the President threw the gauntlet down last time on the Court...that was vital to scaring Roberts off."
While it's fairly disturbing that the Clinton team would flippantly admit such things, what's even worse is that they plotted to use Obama's same strategy of applying political pressure on the Supreme Court in 2015 to overturn "King v Burwell" which also threatened Obamacare's future.
The email below from Neera Tanden, clearly shows Clinton staffers colluding with the President of the Center for American Progress on a scheme to apply political pressure on the Supreme Court to overturn the challenge. |
