NBC News: “If Trump couldn’t get Congress to do away with the law — and he couldn’t, even with Republicans in control of both chambers — he would choose Supreme Court justices who would declare Obamacare unconstitutional.”
“But two of the three jurists Trump picked for the court — Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — voted with Roberts as part of a 7-2 majority Thursday to deny standing to a group of conservative states that claimed the law harmed them. It was a major blow — perhaps a decisive one — against the political right’s long fight against Obamacare and a sign of the limit of Trump’s influence on the justices he appointed.”
“In the first hours after the ruling, Trump greeted the news with the deafening silence of defeat.”
