Arch-conservative Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) warned Monday that if the Supreme Court were to uphold the health care reform law, it could lead to a “redneck president” imposing a separate brand of mandates on Americans.
“It ought to scare liberals to come run and join conservatives, because what it means is when this president’s out of the White House and you get a conservative in there, if this president has the authority under ObamaCare … to trample on religious rights, then some redneck president’s got the right to say, ‘you know what, there’s some practices that go on in your house that cause people too much money and healthcare, so we’re going to have the right to rule over those as well,'” Gohmert said during a press conference on Capitol Hill, in remarks captured by The Hill’s Julian Pecquet.
