In order to save Obamacare, Roberts rewrote it as one big tax bill, even though Obama and the Democrats had repeatedly claimed that it was not a tax.

I don’t think Roberts will have any trouble rewriting it again so that an “Exchange established by the State” means an exchange established by the feds or a state.

Oddly enough, the first time I heard the bill referred to as a tax, before it was passed, was when I heard Rush play a clip where Obama was claiming it was not a tax, and Rush interrupted the tape to scream “It’s a tax!!! Plain and simple.” Maybe Roberts was listening to Rush.

Might not Roberts simply reason that those States who did not establish their own exchange have simple “delegated” their authority to do so to the Feds?

I fear you are right. Dictatorships usually have a compliant judiciary to give them the cloak of legitimacy. The US seems to be following the model of Venezuela under Chavez and now Maduro. If Roberts fixes Obamacare again, we will know that the US cannot be fixed from within the system and the citizenry and conservative groups will have to make a crucial decision on what to do next.

Correct. He will screw us.
