This might well be the dumbest dumb in the dumb history of all dumb GOP dumb. Spend six years trying to kill a landmark piece of legislation, fail repeatedly and then resort to the courts with a stupid and ridiculous argument. Get the Supreme Court’s five conservative votes to hear the case despite the stupidity of the argument and now that a decision is near - blame Obama for the problem.

Republican politicians treat their audiences like rubes and suckers. This is a prime example. I’d call it comedy gold, except for the fact that people will assuredly die if the Supreme Court strikes down the federal subsidies and the ACA is fatally damaged as a result. That’s not funny. Just dumb.
