“Even as Republicans rose in a chorus of outrage Thursday over the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal to gut the unpopular Affordable Care Act, party leaders were privately breathing a sigh of relief,” the Washington Post reports.
“Had the court gone the other way, Republicans would have faced their most serious governing challenge since taking control of both houses of Congress earlier this year.”
New York Times: “The Supreme Court’s decision was a clear victory for President Obama. But it was also quite good news for Republican presidential candidates. They can keep the issue as a rhetorical device to stoke support among primary and caucus voters, but they will not be burdened by Democratic criticism about millions of people losing health insurance.”
