From Roberts' opinion:"Here, the statutory scheme compels the Court to reject petitioners’ interpretation because it would destabilize the individual insurance market in any State with a Federal Exchange, and likely create the very “death spirals” that Congress designed the Act to avoid."

Whaaaaat? What does this have to do with interpreting the statute they were ruling on? He didn't rule on what the statute said, he looked at the impact he thought it would have on the insurance market. Holy crap.

Too big to fail is now institutionalized, more importantly government is too big to fail......

the really sad part is even if Roberts voted the other way, or Kennedy, the vote still would have been 5-4.
