Five vulnerable Republicans break with Trump on ObamaCare lawsuit
By Alexander Bolton - 10/01/20 06:01 PM EDT

Five vulnerable Senate Republicans broke with President Trump’s efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act in an attempt to insulate themselves from Democratic attacks in the final weeks of the fall campaign.

GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Joni Ernst (Iowa), Cory Gardner (Colo.) Martha McSally (Ariz.) and Dan Sullivan (Alaska) voted to advance a Democratic-sponsored bill that would block the Justice Department from advocating in court for the invalidation of ObamaCare. The measure was supported by all Senate Democrats and just one other Republican.

Recent polls show Collins, Ernst, Gardner and McSally all trailing their Democratic Democratic challengers. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who is up for reelection in 2022, also voted for the measure.


The willingness to break with Trump is the latest sign of how efforts to repeal the 2010 law, former President Obama’s signature domestic legislative achievement, remain a divisive issue within the Senate GOP conference, something Democrats were more than eager to exploit.

Uh, nope.  Congress does not get to run the Justice Department.  It is an Executive office, not a Legislative one.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Close election race so she'll say anything if she thinks it'll help.  I understand she's been saying the lawsuit striking down Obamacare has very little chance of succeeding when, in fact, it has a very good chance of striking Obamacare down.
