US Supreme Court this morning hears oral argument challenging the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, 2010 federal health care law, with all 9 Justices including newly-sworn in Justice Amy Coney Barrett. @cspan, @cspanradio and online. c-span.org/video/?471185-…
Hoyer ahead of today's Supreme Court ACA oral argument: "It is unconscionable that Republicans would put so much energy into trying to take health care access away from millions of Americans in the middle of a deadly pandemic."
Hoyer: "With the unprecedented confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, they broke their own standards in order to stack the Supreme Court against the Affordable Care Act and all those it protects."
Hoyer: "As the oral arguments in this case commence, Americans will be watching and praying that the Court recognizes how critical this law has been for saving and improving lives and making health care affordable and attainable for millions of our people."

Sen. Murphy (D-CT):"There is an epidemic of delusion that is spreading out from WH & infecting the entire Republican Party in wake of this election,& it presents a real threat to this country. President Trump didn't win the election. Every single one of my colleagues knows this." Image
Murphy (D-CT): "So far, there is no evidence that Congressional Republicans are ever going to step away from President Trump's delusional assault on democracy. Senator McConnell said this week the President is 'within his rights' to fight the election. That is, of course, true."
Murphy (D-CT): "The President can keep filing frivolous legal challenges if he wants. We're not going to stop him from doing that. But just because he has the right to mount these legal challenges, that doesn't mean that Republicans here have to support him in those efforts."
