1/ I agree that the cases where a current or former official is resisting a House subpoena may take months or years to be resolved in court. But unless Trump secures an injunction, Deutsche Ban will comply next Monday w/the HPSCI subpoena.

2/ And the merits of the suit against DB are very weak. What are the odds a lower court will grant an injunction--or that five Justices will require a trial judge to do so? The answer *should be* "minuscule," but we shall see.

Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), an architect of the 2017 tax bill, said “that’s not what we thought was going to happen at that time [of the 2017 tax bill vote]. We thought we would get rid of a mandate that a lot people didn’t like.”

Exactly.

talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/senate-gop-…
Sen. Roy Blunt, a member of GOP leadership, said that the mandate provision in the 2017 bill was “intended to give people more options and be able to work more vigorously to find what those options are, and by removing the penalty, you allow people to make more choices, . . .
... without being penalized for making those choices.”

Yup.

It's shameful and deeply cynical DOJ would write a brief asking a court to deny this obvious point, which *everyone* understands.

1/ There's plenty wrong in the new DOJ brief in the ACA case. But the fundamental and most egregious error--the one on which everything else depends--is the argument in Part II ...

@nicholas_bagley @steve_vladeck @jadler1969 @pweiser
2/ ... that the 2017 GOP Congress amended the ACA to impose a legal requirement to maintain insurance that previously wasn't there, and that Congress did so in the teeth of an unequivocal holding of the SCOTUS that it'd be unconstitutional to do so.
3/ There isn't a single member of Congress, let alone a majority, that intended to do that, or who thought that was what Congress had done. What the amended Act does, obviously, is to give individuals a legal *choice* between maintaining insurance and ... doing (paying) nothing.

1/ Obviously I don't agree w/all the legal points in this piece by my terrific former student Will Chamberlain, but I wager his basic account is right: On matters of great significance (Bush/Gore; Garland; Kavanaugh; etc.), the GOP legal establishment ...

2/ ... plays the long game and knows how to use all the tools at its disposal to prevail. It helps, of course, to control the Senate--and thus the Court and cabinet appointees--even as a minority party. The Dems, by contrast, don't appear to fully appreciate ...
3/ ... that Senate control is *everything" (look at all the strong potential candidates who've decided not to run), and, unfortunately, that in those times when you do control the Senate you must be ruthless. Wish it weren't so, but that's the modern reality.

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
