Roberts used the line to argue that it “is implausible that Congress meant the Act to operate” in a manner to limit the subsidies only to those states with state-operated exchanges

Roberts is no fool. He knows that intelligent people know what he’s doing there. But he doesn’t care because the stakes are too high. Apparently, ruling in the other direction would result in such a negative situation that it was worth abandoning the constitution and the actual meaning of English words.

He’s probably right, but that doesn’t justify what he did.

Roberts used the line to argue that it “is implausible that Congress meant the Act to operate” in a manner to limit the subsidies only to those states with state-operated exchanges... He’s probably right...

He's not right. He's lying.

Roberts already knows that Congress acted in a coercive manner when in 2012 he struck down the linking of all Medicaid funds to accepting the Medicaid expansion for Obamacare.

It's disingenuous to now say that Congress would never have forced the states to create exchanges this way, when he struck down a similar scheme already.
