I agree that the ACA is unconstitutional. I'll bet Chief Justice Roberts does, too. But the question at the time involved whether or not the ACA was unconstitutional on the basis of the very specific legal challenge that was brought before the court.

Just because the U.S. Supreme Court found the individual mandate in the ACA constitutional on those grounds, it didn't mean the ACA was constitutional in its entirety. There was always going to be further legal challenges based on different legal arguments that could not be brought at the time because they related to provisions of Obamacare that hadn't even taken effect yet.

And THAT is the question on which Scalia, Alito, Kennedy and Thomas are right and Roberts, Kagan and Ginsberg are wrong.
