His timing couldn't be better. After the smackdown administered by Judge Vinson, Mitch McConnell introduced a measure to repeal the national healthcare overhaul. Although it is unlikely to pass, republicans are lined up in opposition, forcing the democrats to yet again put themselves in the position of supporting unpopular, expensive and likely unconstitutional legislation.
From Jennifer Rubin:
Earlier today, McConnell announced in a press avail: "We pledged to the American people that we would seek to repeal this 2,700-page bill that seeks to restructure all of American health care and put the decisions in Washington. I'm pleased to announce that all 47 of my members will be voting to repeal Obamacare." Thirteen Democrats won't join them, and maybe none will. But the process of pressuring vulnerable Democrats to go on the record in support of an unpopular, exorbitantly expensive and quite possibly unconstitutional statute has begun. And McConnell will do it again and again for the next two years.
