There is no case headed for the Supreme Court that threatens Obamacare. That's a bunch hysteria created by Democrats.

Obviously any member of Congress can propose a bill. But the President can propose legislation and send it to Congress for consideration. It's called leadership.
Before you start another fact-free rant, read this:
The president may personally propose legislation in annual and special messages to Congress including the annual State of the Union address and joint sessions of Congress. If Congress has adjourned without acting on proposals, the president may call a special session of the Congress.
But in 4 years, Trump has never bothered. He just tells us it will be something "beautiful" and that we'll see it "in 2 weeks."

Yep... the President continues to lie about his mythical health care plan that is "always" just two weeks away.
He has done nothing in years, but right before the election as he was getting nailed for his lies, he signs a couple of executive orders, that might not even really do anything to solve the massive problem. Just another example that he really doesn't care about the American people or his followers. All he cares about is himself. People can be dying of covid, and he continues to say we have turned the corner and it will go away... his lies just keep on coming.Keep on Civin'

"The move comes as the Trump administration tries to overturn ObamaCare ]in the Supreme Court after getting rid of the key enforcement tool of the law, the individual mandate, when Congress eliminated the penalty for not having insurance."
And... Texas v. California
"The Supreme Court's options for deciding this case are shaped by the complicated history of litigation over the ACA.
The origins of the case go back to 2012, when the court upheld the constitutionality of the ACA's penalty on individuals who lack health coverage—the so-called individual coverage mandate—as a justifiable exercise of Congress' power to tax.
In December 2017, however, President Donald Trump signed into law a tax bill that eliminated the ACA's penalty on individuals who lack health coverage. Afterward, several Republican state attorneys general, led by the state of Texas, filed a lawsuit arguing that the health care statute itself, or at least the parts of the act closely linked to the individual mandate, were no longer valid. Democratic states and the House of Representatives, led by Democrats, stepped in to defend the statute.
In December 2018, a Texas district court struck down the ACA but stayed its ruling pending appeal, concluding that the individual mandate is so connected to the law that Congress would not have passed the ACA without it.
On appeal, in Texas v. United States, a split panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals deemed that the individual mandate was unconstitutional, but the panel instructed the district court to rehear the matter and "to employ a finer-toothed comb on remand and conduct a more searching inquiry into which provisions of the ACA Congress intended to be inseverable from the mandate."
However, on March 2, 2019, before the district court could carry out the appellate court's directive, the Supreme Court announced it would hear the case in its term beginning in the fall of 2020, blocking the lower courts from taking further action.
The case the Supreme Court will decide is now titled Texas v. California"
So yes, there is a case headed to the Supreme Court... it's not a bunch of hysteria created by Democrats. It's a FACTKeep on Civin'

If Trump thinks bragging about the economy will save him, the markets have some bad news for him.
Promises made...It has been a messy week for the stock market. With only four days to go until Election Day, rising Covid-19 infections and uncertainty about further government stimulus to help the economy, there's plenty for investors to worry about.
Stocks had their worst week since March, when the market tumbled under the first wave of coronavirus infections and lockdowns -- and one of their worst weeks of the year as a whole.
All three major indexes also recorded the second straight month of losses.
The Dow (INDU) fell 6.5% on the week while the S&P 500 (SPX), the broadest measure of Wall Street, dropped 5.6%. Though we're not back in lockdown mode yet, some European countries have tightened restrictions again to combat a second wave.
The Dow closed down 0.6%, or 158 points, on Friday. It was also its worst month of the year since March.
The S&P ended the day 1.2% lower.
But the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (COMP) fared the worst on Friday, as tech stocks got clobbered. Shares of Twitter, for example, closed down more than 20%, following the company's earnings Thursday. Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) shares also tumbled after their earnings reports. The Nasdaq finished down 2.5% on Friday, for a drop of 5.5% on the week.
