Of course, in good keeping with conservative tradition, I made sure the source was Fox. This suit isn't going anywhere so no need to sweat it.
Since the suit is essentially over nothing, I didn't bother with a source. When the actual suit is over delaying a single portion of a bill (not eliminating it), there is absolutely ZERO chance that it will go anywhere, considering that nearly every president since Washington has issued executive orders altering legislation implementation. There is no legal precedent and no portion of the federal legal code to support it. It will be just as effective as if they had instead spent the time voting to repeal the ACA for the fifty billionth time and every one of them knows it.
The amusing thing to me, though, is that it seems to be firing up the Democrat voters a whole lot more than the Republican ones. You would think that the Repubs would go out of their way to avoid angering the Dem voters so that their voter turn-out stays lower. That is usually why they do so much better in mid-term elections. Giving the Democrats free anger inducing PR does not seem like the wisest campaign strategy.
