Roberts will re-define “subsidies” just like he changed the mandate/fee into a tax. The fix is in. We’ve seen the movie before.

Since the mandate is a "tax", any subsidies would be deemed a "tax credit" or "refund", and since Congress established the Federal "tax" and subsidies, the contingencies on those tax credits cannot be used selectively to discriminate against people based on geography, or the state establishing an exchange. The right of the people to Obamacare shall not be infringed.

Or some other line of horse hockey like that.

Exactly. I remember this happening the last time.

He came out with some statement about SCOTUS and this abomination of a law just prior to them rendering their ruling and what happened? Justice Roberts magically changed the law into a “tax”, thus upholding this “crap sandwich”.

Now, it’s happening again. With his mole on the court in the form of Elena Kagen (sp?), she’s probably telling him (or one of his bots in the administration) which way the court is leaning and he comes out with this stupid, reality-free statement about the court. Watch, Roberts will lead the way with uphold this monstrosity by redefining the subsidies or some other nonsense. You’re right; the fix is in!
