This is what the left opposes

The delaying tactics were inevitable. The left historically tries to govern through the courts when they can.

Only when they are in the minority. If they are in the majority they suppress your ability to access the courts usually through activist judges. They'll tell you that you have "no standing" regardless of the reason you have...

Obamacare was not. Obamacare was what we were allowed to have.

In a 2009 speech to a joint session of Congress, Obama said the ACA would provide "more security and stability to those who have health insurance," and "affordable coverage" for those who don’t.

Every Democrat in Congress voted for it.

Every Republican in Congress voted against it.

If you don't like it, blame the Democrats.

Give us a break with the "activist judges" speil. Trump has activist judges who act on his behalf as the one did in Florida. SCOTUS is half in his pocket. Even got every single one of the Conservatives on SCOTUS to lie. They all to a person expressed support for stare decisis yet somehow overturned Roe for no good reason.

So let's drop the whole "activist" judge stuff. It doesn't hold water.

It does at the circuit court level. When you go up the ladder to appellate courts and the Supreme Court, not so much. At the circuit level, judges can make rulings they know won't be overturned for months, possibly years. Even then, only something like 10% of their rulings go to appeal or the Supreme Court. So, even if they're overturned 100% of the time, 90% (give or take) of the time their rulings stick and effectively become law.

Over the years, I've actually listened to activist judges, particularly on the Left, say exactly that. They come right out and say they're acting as dictators and making law.

With appellate courts and the Supreme Court it is harder because there's a panel of judges, rather than just one.

I'll translate from liberalese to human:

I like the things that activist judges enact through the bench, therefore I will try to gaslight you and say that "activist judges" do not exist, I'll say it often and repeatedly so that sometime in the future the Overton Window may change and the conversation will not be about the rulings of activist judges.
