The language in the decision

From the Washington Post:

Chief Justice Roberts quietly burns Scalia in the Obamacare decision

...

Roberts used the dissent's own words against Scalia in the case decided this week, which focused on what Congress was trying to do when it passed the Affordable Care Act, generally known as Obamacare.

...

Roberts agreed with the administration. He wrote that it was "implausible" for Congress to set up a system in which people who used the federal marketplace wouldn't be able to get financial help buying insurance. Scalia disagreed. But, back in 2012, he had written that without subsidies, "the exchanges would not operate as Congress intended."

...

On Thursday, Roberts took that language and used it to defend his argument that the subsidies must be upheld.


Also - look at the pictures at the bottom and notice the age of the pro ACA protesters. Here's hoping the next generation will undo what mine f**ked up (sorry about that - I've voted against them for over 30 years)[link:http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/06/25/chief-justice-roberts-quiet-burn-on-scalia-in-the-obamacare-decision/?tid=sm_fb|
