Chief Justice John Roberts’ court is getting praise from Democrats for its latest move to protect Obamacare, even from Hillary Clinton who said in a note, “congratulations to everyone who played a part in this win.”
Clinton is one of dozens of political figures weighing in on President Obama’s latest court victory, urging supporters to choose her if they want to see the string of wins continue.

From Clinton:
This morning, the Supreme Court sided with common sense and America’s families, and confirmed again that the Affordable Care Act is the law of land — and it’s here to stay.
This ruling is a victory for every American, especially the millions whose lives have been improved by health care reform and the countless more who fought hard to pass and protect this law. It’s a reminder that while progress never comes easy, if we keep working, keep pushing, and never, ever give up, anything is possible.
Add your name if you agree that access to health care is a basic human right.
Despite two clear rulings by the highest court in the land, Republicans running for president still want to take basic health security away from millions of Americans.
They’re in lockstep with allies in Congress who have voted more than 50 times to repeal or dismantle the Affordable Care Act without proposing a single viable alternative.
The next president will either protect and expand health care for every American, or undo the progress we’ve made.
If you believe we need to keep fighting, join me:

Health care reform was a hard-fought battle — congratulations to everyone who played a part in this win.
Thank you,
Hillary
