      Wow. Sen. Lamar Alexander — chair of the Senate's health committee — just eviscerated the DOJ's ACA brief. (My story on the brief: https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/obamacare-trump-aca-individual-mandate-preexisting-condition?utm_term=.dyNxNBWq3#.phy81DMLA …)pic.twitter.com/lCzNd3PC85

      "The Justice Department argument in the Texas case is as far-fetched as any I’ve ever heard." - Sen. Alexander, a Republican, said of the Sessions-led DOJ brief

          I’ll believe it when I see him argue for this protection on the floor of the Senate.

          Perhaps I misread: unless the Senator uses his power to fight against this discriminatory practice, I’m not buying it. Again, I need to go back & reread to better understand.

          Yep, I need better reading comprehension skills. Mea culpa, I completely misunderstood the quote.

          Please just don't be shocked to death when SCOTUS adopts the reasoning. That's the world we live in now.

          It's an issue for the Democrats in the fall, Lamar, and they'll use the hell out of it. As they should.

          Where was Alexander, or any of the so-called moderate Republicans when their vote was needed by the American people on a wide variety of Republican led legislative atrocities?

          True, but he's been indicted, re-elected, and the trial is pending. And pending. And pending. The Texas GOP has a way of delaying these things until they can be quietly resolved in favor of the indicted. The witnesses will eventually die, and the prosecution will run out of money

          Interesting how bold these republican congressmen get after announcing retirement.

          Senators are up in arms at the thought that nixing coverage for preexisting conditions may impede access to erectile dysfunction drugs.

          Again, if only someone in the Senate would take action on the floor instead of writing letters or whispering into a reporter's ear. They're all a bunch of cowards who don't want to upset the Toddler-in-Chief b/c he'll call them nasty names. #GOPCowards
