Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a fierce opponent of the Affordable Care Act, on Tuesday praised the federal appeals court decision that bans the federal government from providing subsidies to the 36 states that use the federal health care exchange.
“The D.C. Circuit’s decision today in Halbig v. Burwell is a repudiation of Obamacare and all the lawlessness that has come with it,” Cruz said in a statement.
“This decision restores power to Congress and to the people and if properly enforced, should shield citizens from Obamacare’s insidious penalties, mandates, and subsidies. This is a significant victory for the American people and the rule of law, but we must not rest,” he continued. “Every last word of Obamacare must be repealed to restore jobs, growth, and opportunity in our country.”
He must practice for hours on end to be this big of an assh^le.

I hope someone challenge the subsidies of the rich and famous in cotton, rice, tobacco and oil. Cruz is a poster boy for insanity.
Damn those insidious subsidies that help the poor get insurance! Damn them all to hell!

Josh Marshall’s Cruz man-crush continues.
100 Senators, but this site seems to remember about 5 of them most of the time.
