GOP lawmakers distance themselves from ObamaCare ruling

Republicans are keeping their distance from a recent court ruling that struck down ObamaCare, as GOP lawmakers are wary of the political backlash that could ensue from scrapping the law.

Many congressional Republicans remain silent after a federal judge on Friday struck down the Affordable Care Act in its entirety. And those who have spoken out largely steered clear of embracing the decision.

The muted response illustrates how the politics of the 2010 health law have shifted, with Democrats successfully hammering Republicans during the 2018 midterms over GOP efforts to weaken the law’s pre-existing condition protections.

Sen. Roy Blunt (Mo.), a member of Senate GOP leadership, wouldn't say this week whether he supported the judge’s decision.

“The thing to remember about the judge's ruling is it has no immediate impact,” Blunt said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
