Doesn’t the ACA law clearly say that subsidies can ONLY go to exchanges that are established by States - NOT those established by the Federal Government?

If so, its a simple case of merely following the law, isn’t it?

You’d think so, wouldn’t you?

You would think, but I can see where the SC would twist that pesky equal protection clause in the 14th amendment into meaning the subsidies are legal even in the non exchange states. Their logic might be you cannot give subsidies to one class of people in certain states and not to an equal class of people in other states. Instead of deep sixing the law, the court expands it by judicial fiat.

Correct. The Left is soiling their trou because Scotus just might decide the pertinent, explicit clauses mean precisely what the pelosi/reid/Obola democrats enacted into law.
