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.

Not Robert’s job to rewrite the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010”. Neither is it within his power to reinterpret the English language, nor of any Supreme Court Justice.
Can we now write up articles of impeachment on the six of the nine Supreme Court Justices?
For flunking basic understanding of plain English.
Social promotion.
You need to ask?
It was nowhere near as poorly written as your Majority Opinion you traitor.
The rest of America? We can go pound sand.
Here are the destructive legacies of Reagan and Bush for all to see with Anthony Kennedy and Roberts.
True... they need to order a ton of crystal balls now at the USSC.
I can now deeply sympathize with the bunch who just wants to torpedo the whole PPACA regardless of consequences, even though that is not the most godly thing to do.
What actually happened is that the Democrats managed to hold something very near and dear to most Americans hostage. And in this rhetoric-driven era, it didn’t even matter that Congress was ready, more or less, to patch this monster.
Our answer will not be found in politics but in God.
How about “We have met the enemy and it is ourselves.”
More like big wickedness even, than big money.
We are looking for causes in the material world for evil that came from the spiritual. We will never find them in the former place. Like the fellow who was looking for his lost wallet under a lamppost 2 blocks from where he had lost it, “because the light is better.”
Words have no meaning.
New precedence is now set.
...written law, doesn't necessarily mean what it actually says.
Like I commented elsewhere with someone else:
We now have 3 branches of government all making laws.

..the road to ruin stops somewhere nearby.
I’ll repost what I posted on the other thread, just because it is worth considering:
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

“The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”
-snip-
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
Dear Justice Roberts,
Here was my original reply to your first act of tyranny. I still stand by it.
On this day, I make the pledge that when my employer drops my health insurance, I will not join the exchange. When the IRS fines me, I will not pay that fine! When that results in the IRS issuing a warrant for that fine, I will not comply! When they knock on my door to enforce the warrant, I will not answer! Eventually, they will kick in my door to enforce the warrant and at that time many will pay a heavy price! The “tolerant and compassionate left” must be willing to shoot me dead to enforce their utopian dreams!
The Government must always be willing to enforce their utopian ideas with the force of a gun and their confiscation of my physical being is a very bright line. I will pay a heavy price, but I am hopeful that price will be paid to the benefit of my progeny!
I will not succomb to slavery!
Well, since the Supremes decided that laws don’t mean what they say, We the People do not have to abide by Obamacare.
The America I grew up in is OVER!
There are far too many lonely lampposts in DC, that could use a traitor to hang around with.
Looks like that’s a given, doesn’t it?
That interpretation can be applied to all laws. Just saying.
