1. a symbolic vote but always good to place GOP on ther ecord, they all simply lie any way

2. I don't believe the bill/resolution will pass, but

if it did, could the DOJ submit its brief as an amicus? The states would remain to pursue the USSC oral arguments.

3. House or Senate? n/t

6. I think this is a Senate vote. Somehow, Schumer slipped it into the calendar procedurally. n/t

7. Symbolic, then.

It puts Republicans on the record opposing the ACA, but we are unlikely to pass the actual resolution.

Got it. Thanks.

8. Absolutely. But when you're in the minority with an oppressive majority party, ya do what ya can.

11. No doubt. It's a good move by Schumer.

It’s not like McConnell is going to bring anything substantial to the floor, no matter how many House bills are on his desk.

9. Call your Republican senators and give them hell.

10. It should probably be illegal for the DoJ to sue against established law...

12. Rejected.
