Texas Republicans exult after Day 2 of Supreme Court health care arguments
A delegation of Texas Republican elected officials was pleased that the Supreme Court’s five-justice conservative majority on Tuesday took a dim view of the Obama administration’s signature health care law, the one they all call “Obamacare.’’
“We knew that if we could get the court to agree to focus (on how the law) infringed on individual liberty, we had chance of winning,’’ said Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who attended the second day of three days’ worth of oral arguments on the law. “We were pleased to walk out of the courtroom today knowing that five justices of the United States Supreme Court focused their powerful questions against the U.S. government on that very issue, and that’s the unprecedented encroachment Obamacare imposes on individual liberty.”

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who like Abbott was in the court chamber for the two hours of arguments, told reports afterward: “As government grows, individual freedom shrinks. That’s what this case is all about: Whether we as individual citizens can choose our own health care options or whether the government is going to impose one-size-fits all on all of us.’’
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, did not attend Tuesday’s arguments but her press office said she would be there for the third and final day on Wednesday. The law is constitutionally “unsustainable,’’ she said.
