As the Supreme Court upheld the federal health care exchanges under ObamaCare yesterday, Congress took to the Twitterverse to express their mixed feelings about the outcome.
These are some of the top tweets from the Hill:
Phil Novack, deputy press secretary, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas):
"MUST SEE: Cruz Speech on King v. Burwell #SCOTUS Decision http://t.co/c7ogxmaRjp 'no longer umpires calling balls and strikes"
Josh Zembik, communications director, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.):
"Congressional Republicans remain committed to repealing Obamacare in the same way I remain committed to playing Major League baseball."
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.):
"From humiliating website debacles to the total collapse of exchanges in states run by the law's loudest supporters, #Obamacare is a disaster"
Josh Delaney, legislative fellow, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.):
"Needless to say. My office is very, very happy. #Obamacare #SCOTUScare"
Daniel Stefanski, legislative and outreach assistant, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.):
"I really dislike hearing @BarackObama's victory laps....especially after he gets his way at the #SCOTUS. #Obamacare #KingvBurwell"
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.):
"My day so far: Woke up after another #CWSG win, high-fives when the SCOTUS ACA ruling came down, cheered when POTUS said #ACAHereToStay."
Christy Kortokrax, scheduler/executive assistant, Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas):
"We should start calling this law SCOTUScare.' - Justice Scalia. It was good knowing you, Constitutional America. You'll be missed. #SCOTUS"
Liz Margolis, communications director, Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-Ore.):
"I have to think if I'm a moderate Dem who lost my seat as a result of my Obamacare vote, I'm feeling a little vindicated today. #SCOTUS"
Nick Hawatmeh, legal counsel, House Administration Committee:
"More brilliance in Scalia's dissent calling the logic behind the ruling 'interpretive jiggery-pokery' SCOTUScare"
Former Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.):
"SCOTUS upholds the Affordable Care Act AND it's V-Mart Bobblehead Day at the @tigers game. Today's a good one."
Cory Fritz, press secretary, Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio):
"Just getting to rose garden statement. Remember, @POTUS has signed at least 7 House bills to repeal or defund parts of ObamaCare. #facts"
