Most people with even a passing understanding of the Constitution believe that the current challenge to the Affordable Care Act will fail spectacularly. It is logically, legally, and constitutionally preposterous. The only real question is whether the vote at the SC will be 8-0 or 9-0.
Nevertheless, there are scores of Democrat politicians who assure their constituents and potential voters that President Trump's current Court nominee - the Barrett lady - will, pretty much by herself, cause the sacred right of the unfortunates with "pre-existing, expensive medical conditions" to lose their health insurance, and both go broke and DIE.
So here is the question for the board (y'all):
Assume that newly-sworn-n Justice Barrett believes that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional, BUT that it is the ONLY THING standing between millions of very sick people and DEATH! That is, if she votes to nullify the law, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE.
Should she cast her vote to uphold the law that she considers unconstitutional, or vote it down and condemn million to a quick and painful death?
HINT: The recently deceased RBG would, under these circumstances, vote to uphold the law.
