I would love to see both parties sit down and come up with something that is actually good, but I don't think that is going to happen. Hopefully they do come up with a reasonable solution.

The plan has been to go after it in the courts since they new it was going to be ugly for them legislatively as we seen play out.
Even this play has to be known it will fail which leaves you with the fact they did it for show and rattle their base.
But at this point, it certainly just makes the republican position look really bad overall without even linking it to any other stupid deeds seen in the states.
This morning I can see in the sun morning political magazines that POTUS is trying to take the issue away from the democrats in some deal he can work out. At least give the impression he is working with them on a fix to neutralize the issue for him and the republicans. I'm not sure it needs any help from him to fix itself. Just let it play out in the court. They started it, let it finish and fix what needs fixed afterwards.
I would bet there is a some republican strategist about to loose their job soon.
This has been a very stupid move on their part headed into the 2020 elections.
But this will even bolster the argument of 'medicare for all' .
