Sen Rand Paul, R-Ky., is trying another approach to protect the public from Obamacare – changing the Constitution.
The senator has introduced a constitutional amendment that would prevent Congress from passing laws that do not apply to lawmakers, the president and the Supreme Court.
The language of the bill itself is notably simple.
Section 1 reads: Congress shall make no law applicable to a citizen of the United States that is not equally applicable to Congress.
Section 2 would make all laws applicable to the executive branch and section 3 would make all laws applicable to the Supreme Court, making sure all three branches of the federal government are included.
Supporters of the bill say it seems politically shrewd, as it may be difficult for lawmakers to explain why a law is good for ordinary Americans but not for them.
But, there is another reason that inspired Paul to draft the bill, and to include the Supreme Court, especially, Chief Justice John Roberts, who cast the deciding vote upholding Obamacare.
“My amendment says basically that everybody including Justice Roberts – who seems to be such a fan of Obamacare – gets it, too,” Paul told the Daily Caller last month.
“See, right now, Justice Roberts is still continuing to have federal employee health insurance subsidized by the taxpayer. And if he likes Obamacare so much, I’m going to give him an amendment that gives Obamacare to Justice Roberts.”
