While Chief Justice John Roberts delivered a blow to ObamaCare foes with a majority opinion upholding subsidies, he backed up the law's opponents on one point: The language in the Affordable Care Act was kind of a mess.
"The Affordable Care Act contains more than a few examples of inartful drafting," he wrote.

Roberts couldn’t have done more damage if he were a foreign agent seeking to harm the U. S.
Inartful drafting, so SCOTUS declares that the wording doesn’t matter! smh
King v. Burwell is the Supreme Court’s “Humpty Dumpty” decision, that the written law no longer means what it actually says, but can be modified “at whim” by the president, to mean what he wants it to mean. In effect, the Supreme Court has just decided to cede all of its power to the president.
Through the Looking Glass (1872):
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master — that’s all.”
"Daddy, I've got this Communist Manifesto that needs some clever sleight of hand...can you help me?"
It isn’t as though the wording was an accident or a typo, Gruber admitted that the words used were deliberately chosen.
This is crazy.
FU, you black-robed traitor!
House Passes Bill to Repeal ObamaCare Death Panel

In theory, yes, but in reality it has never happened.
Last week I learned I golf as well as Tiger Woods. Today, I learned I know more about the law than the chief justice of the US freekin’ supreme court!
Yes, it was poorly written and unconstitutional.
But you, Justice Roberts, instead of ruling on the law as written, decided that it was in your constitutional authority to transform yourself into a unelected and unaccountable legislative body to rewrite those parts of the law that didn’t pass constitutional muster.
There’s a word that our Founders would have used to describe an unelected and unaccountable legislature: TYRANNY.
If this doesn’t end in a constitutional amendment to fix it then it is wrong to blame the “leaders.”
+10 AMEN
Isn't that what they really mean?
They get the “amateur pass.”
Inartfully written or purposely vague?
Contorting to support a badly written law makes its interpretation and related regulations even more complicated.
They know they’re making sh*t up.
We know they’re making sh*t up.
They know we know they’re making sh*t up.
We know they know we know they’re making sh*t up.
There is no pretending anymore.
It’s a dictatorship.
He’s a liar.
I see something like “the soft bigotry of low expectations” going on here.
That is going to backfire like mad.
