Administration wins, to put it another way.
by Amy Howe 10:10 AM

This means that individuals who get their health insurance through an exchange established by the federal government will be eligible for tax subsidies.



Six are the Chief, Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan.

Scalia of course dissents.

Ben Shapiro ‏@benshapiro 21s21 seconds ago

And, in another non-shocker, the Supreme Court -- led once again by that staunch conservative Roberts -- upholds Obamacare.

No need to wonder whether Chief Justice Roberts was a disastrous pick. He was. And yes, I told you so at the time.

Due to seniority, if there is another decision today, it will also be written by Roberts.

Hey emfive, this is Alec. I am glad you like the mummy eating the bowl of shitty pasta with a can of 'parm.' I made that image for you way back when. I’m glad you enjoy it.
just saw a tweet in which somebody lamented that King didn't win and result in massive negative fallout for the GOP. I don't know if that's accelerationist or just dumb.

Want that Scalia opinion.

AP reporting that the opinions of the justices hold that healthcare subsidies are not dependent on where you live.

I'm so drat relieved right now. I was sure they'd uphold the subsidies, but you really never know. Yay, I get to stay healthy and not broke!

If Obergefell v. Hodges makes gay marriage legal in all 50 states, it'll be annoying for future history students, because it's so much harder to remember than Loving v. Virginia. But otherwise it'll be awesome, and the Republican tears will be so glorious.

I can't wait to see Republicans arguing today that the court made a huge mistake and should have taken away healthcare from millions of people because of a drafting error.
