With that said, with all the scrutiny the bill went through the Supreme court has no choice but to rule against Obamacare regarding the states and the subsidy issue.
I'm not sure what the Supreme Court will do. Normally, judges of all leanings read statutes to mean what they were intended to mean, and to read them in a logical way where the whole statute makes sense. They don't normally try to look for technicalities and gotchas where legislators used the wrong word or whatever. Doing that would be putting form over substance, which just about every court in the country has gone on at length against. The only exception, usually, is that they will read a criminal statute as favorably as possible for the defendant.
But, this is a very strange court we have right now. Three things characterize the conservative majority- 1) they favor corporations over people in every instance, 2) they are incredibly susceptible to empty technicalities and legal trickery and 3) they are partisan Republicans. So, this is probably the most likely court to put form over substance and rule against a Democratic bill that corporations don't like that we've had in many generations.
You sure go out of your way to defend a proven liar, remember Obama got the liar of the year award. You will convince no one except yourself.
It's one of the many, many, things that all Republicans perceive as objective proof that the left is evil and that all Democrats think is just Republican silliness.
