WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Jan 23, 2020

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, Obamacare is back at the news. Last month, the

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the Obamacare mandate forcing

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody to buy health insurance is unconstitutional. But while ruling

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.600
<v Speaker 1>against the individual mandate, they did not make a decision

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>about the whole Obamacare law. They sent the case back

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to the Texas District judge who originally ruled Obamacare is

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>entirely on constitution. Now that judge was ordered to conduct

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>a more searching inquiry to see if parts of Obamacare

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.279
<v Speaker 1>can survive without the mandate. This process will take at

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>least a year, putting the question beyond the election. So

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:42.200
<v Speaker 1>panic set in. Congressional Democrats and blue state Democrats immediately

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>formed a coalition to save Obamacare. Now. This week, that coalition,

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>led by California's Attorney general, asked the Supreme Court to intervene.

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>They begged the Court to fast track a challenge to

0:00:55.880 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the Fifth Circuit ruling declaring the mandate unconstitutional. Democrats wanted

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to restore the mandate, and they wanted a hot Obamacare

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>election fight. Well, the Supreme Court didn't take debate. On Tuesday,

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>they issued a one sentence order telling Democrats they're not

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 1>getting involved. So As of this moment, the Obamacare mandates

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:19.279
<v Speaker 1>still unconstitutional, but Democrats have to wait for the big

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Obamacare ruling until after the election. This is what a

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 1>good day in court for some of us looks like,

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>so enjoy it while you can.
