      Here's my look into what happened last night with DOJ's unusual filing in the latest ACA challenge —> https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/obamacare-trump-aca-individual-mandate-preexisting-condition?utm_term=.mmAbBR5vV … via @chrisgeidner

      1. DOJ argued the individual mandate is now unconstitutional. 2. DOJ argued the other main provisions of the ACA — guaranteed- issue and community-rating — aren't severable and should be struck down as well.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/obamacare-trump-aca-individual-mandate-preexisting-condition?utm_term=.gbBr29N7q#.vjxoR7Gaw …

      3. DOJ argued the court should hold off on stopping enforcement until January 2019. 4. Hours before the filing, DOJ changed the lawyers on the case.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/obamacare-trump-aca-individual-mandate-preexisting-condition?utm_term=.gbBr29N7q#.vjxoR7Gaw …

      Sessions on ACA filing: DOJ "is ending the lawlessness that too often took place under the previous administration. Late last night, we informed a Texas court that we would not be defending the constitutionality of the Obamacare mandate. It is a rare step but a necessary one ..."pic.twitter.com/EPd1dPPGNF

          Interesting that after the lawyers defending the ACA "withdrew" from the case, one of the new ones defending DOJ stance is Chad Readler. Earlier in the day Thursday, Trump announced his intent to nominate Readler to a judgeship on the US Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit.

          So... I thought SCOTUS already ruled on this, finding it Constitutional. Plus, efforts to strike this down have repeatedly failed in Congress. Is the DOJ now claiming a right to overrule the other 2 branches of government?

          The inmates are running the asylum. What does it tell you about the rule of law when our own @jeffsessions refuses to faithfully execute the laws of the United States? It's lawlessness.

          Some laws *shouldn’t* be faithfully executed. But the ACA certainly isn’t one of those!

          Did he actually say "lawlessness"?
