More evidence (piled onto the already existing mountain of evidence) that the GOP-appointed members continuously violate their oaths as lawyers and as justices and simply make things up to suit their political and crank religious viewpoints. This isn't a court, it's a poorly written and acted play.

Stupidest GOP talking point is healthcare costs are up 60% since Obamacare (2010). Inflation is 49% since then. So that's most of it. The 15 years before Obamacare, healthcare costs climbed 150%. The idea that Obamacare didn't work is a canard.
Literally can tell this fucker anything he'd like to believe and he just believes it.
Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
