Conservatives unite behind my Obamacare lawsuit

Nearly two dozen conservative organizations have sent a letter to all U.S. senators urging them to sign onto an amicus brief in support of my lawsuit against the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The text of the letter is here.

I appreciate the support. To date, the president has made 21 unilateral changes to Obamacare. One of these changes I believe I actually have standing to challenge. Specifically, under a rule issued by the president’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the administrative branch determined that unlike millions of their countrymen who have lost coverage and who must now purchase insurance through an exchange, members and their staffs will now receive an employer contribution to help pay for their new plans.

The Obama administration is working hard to make sure this case does not see its day in court. On March 17, 2014, the administration filed its initial response to my lawsuit: a motion to dismiss for lack of standing.

I hope all of my colleagues in both the House and Senate will join me in my effort to push back against this lawless administration. There is currently an amicus brief circulating for members of Congress to sign that makes a strong case for how Obama himself has dismantled his own signature piece of legislation through presidential decree.

A united front will surely help my case for standing so that we can proceed to a full trial demonstrating President Obama’s unconstitutional overreach.
