Justice Scalia, "We have now set the precedent that words don't mean what they say."
We have a judicial branch that has no constitutional authority to interpret what the intention of Congress was when they wrote the flawed Affordable Care Act. The intent is not what should be looked at, anyhow, when it comes to this law. The importance is what the language says based on the definitions of the language at the time the law was written. The intent should be clear in the language.
The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that the subsidies will continue, regardless of if the marketplace was established by the State, or through healthcare.gov. We have a federal court ruling on a federal law that the federal government had no authority to pass, and then siding with the failing law, essentially signalling that Obamacare is here to stay.
The repeal of the entire law, without replacing it with another unconstitutional federally backed healthcare law, must now be a doubled effort by the Republican Party. The Democrats will run on this ruling in 2016, and if we want to get rid of Obamacare we must fill Washington with constitutional conservatives, place a conservative President in the White House, and the States must join together to nullify the unconstitutional law.
There is no room for compromise on this, even in the face of tyranny rising.
