"If the ruling stands," the winner will be Congress. The law was written, debated, and amended, with the legislative purpose of explicitly preventing states on the federal exchange from getting subsidies. Subsidies were supposed to be an incentive for states to create their own exchanges. At the time, it was a political strategy by red states to reject state exchanges and leave Obamacare to the federal government.

Obama's response was what he usually does, ignore the law and issue a dictatorial diktat.

If a higher court overturns this ruling in the name of protecting Obama and essentially ignoring the law as passed, then they are basically saying that Congress has no authority anymore. By extension, they would be ruling that the people no longer have any constitutional expectation of representation.

I’m beyond infuriated! Boehner just said he would work with Democrats to ammend the law because ultimately that’s what the people want. WTF? Hell no we don’t! Will someone please smack this man!

saw this on a comment from another board.. worth a watch.

“Jonathan Gruber, ACA architect, on video, at the 31:30 minute mark, stating for the public to know that without a State exchange, there are no subsidies”

Borders first. O-bomb-a care to be disassembled in spare moments not taken up with protecting the border from invasion.

There's NO consistency in our courts?

Our government is GONE. We're no longer ruled by laws, but by whims.
