IFF Rips Idaho Solons After Ruling

The Idaho Freedom Foundation President Wayne Hoffman on Thursday released the following statement in reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on Obamacare: “While many of us today are angry about the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Obamacare, Idaho lawmakers who supported the insurance exchange are overjoyed. They gave up fighting Obamacare long ago, so they feel vindicated by the court’s ruling. When President Obama says his health care law is here to stay, he can now can thank the Supreme Court, the Idaho Legislature and Gov. Butch Otter for helping with that.” More here.

Question: Did Idaho lawmakers aid and abet today's Supreme Court ruling in favor of Obamacare, by voting to support a state exchange? Or did they see the handwriting on the wall and opt for a palatable solution?
