Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) warned fellow GOP House members to not celebrate if the Supreme Court overturns the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, according to a Hill report.
He sent a memo to members Thursday morning, perhaps in anticipation of a ruling from the Supreme Court. Boehner called on members of his party to not celebrate or "spike the ball" at a time when millions of Americans are unemployed, according to the report.
Speaker Boehner did not address how Republicans should react if the Supreme Court decides to uphold the law.
Democratic leaders in Congress responded with a memo of their own, saying "It is a sad day when Republicans continue to cheer against the health benefits Americans are already enjoying, while running out the clock on the economy and pursuing policies that are dangerous to a thriving middle class," according to the report.
