"I am sure that Roberts will see it diferently than how it is written."

There is no reason for such pessimism.

It would be telling to know who the 4 were that voted to take the case but according to Scotusblog
“It would have taken the votes of four Justices to grant review. The Court, as usual, did not indicate the way the Justices had voted on that question.”

If some of the leftists voted to grant cert then we would know the fix is in and they just want to approves the subsidies.

But they could get the same result by not taking the case. And that would not dirty their hands with this political tar baby. That argues that there is more to it and I agree that pessimism is not warranted.

However, we have been stabbed in the back by Roberts before so once burnt twice shy.

Really? Past performance is usually the best indicator of future performance.
