The newly constituted 6-3 conservative-majority Supreme Court hears oral arguments this morning in the case that Republicans are using to try to dismantle Obamacare once and for all. Tierney Sneed will be covering it for TPM. Here’s her latest on the exquisite bind the case has put Republicans in, even though it’s all their own doing. Come back for more from Tierney late this morning after the oral arguments.
Imagine for a moment the reaction to Loretta Lynch going to Chuck Schumer’s office while President Obama refused to concede defeat. Seriously though, what was Bill Barr doing in Mitch McConnell’s office today?
A couple of reader emails, the first one fun, the second especially poignant. Both connect this day to the awful experience of election night 2016.
A TPM reader in DC:
I’m a civil servant. Joe Biden’s victory feels like a war-time liberation.
Here’s what you’re experiencing:
From North Carolina:
Walking to the Farmer’s market in Durham NC and we hear screaming and cheers from 2 blocks away. I start crying because I know what it means. Everyone wants to hug but everyone is staying COVID happy. ♥️♥️♥️
From Buffalo, NY:
Send us your reactions and accounts of the celebrations where you are. And thank you. We couldn’t have made it through the last four years without you. You stood tall. You persevered. There is much work to do now. Celebrate now. Get busy tomorrow. Cheers!
