    Of course, any sentient adult already knew that this was not something he could promise, or that this lawsuit would deliver. Yet, they persisted https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/06/justice-amy-coney-barrett-proves-democrats-obamacare-doomsaying-wrong/ …https://twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/status/1405572630179155969 …

    This isn’t something Dems made up; it was a Trump campaign promise: “If I win the presidency, my judicial appointments will do the right thing unlike Bush's appointee John Roberts on Obamacare.” https://twitter.com/CaseyMattox_/status/1405529806003838987 … pic.twitter.com/yjE5AUkDo0

        People who don't believe anything else Trump said choose to believe him on this?

        Conversely, a Dem President would never make a similar promise, but his or her nominees would always deliver on it.

        You must be saving the list of Republicans that took the same stance for the second part of your article.

        It’s this kind of elite condescension of the tens of millions of sentient adults who trusted Trump that explains his success

        He did promise it, did attempt it (McConnell himself used the court seats as electoral ammo) and the general weakness of the suit reflects at least a faithful effort by the conservative circuits that let it get this far in the first place. Most voters aren't court watchers

        Funny thing about that National Review article is that it misses the fact that the court said the lawsuit was irrelevant. No one cares about ACB. But spin is spin is political and on and on we go.

        This is like saying Dems were wrong about her hair color while she helps turn civil rights into state's rights.
