1. Marriage is a state issue, and any ruling to the contrary lacks legitimacy.

2. Obamacare is shockingly unconstitutional. Spending money on Obamacare in a manner outside that specified in the law is also unconstitutional. Any ruling that permits Obamacare subsidies through federal exchanges lacks legitimacy.

As FedGov increasingly gives up its remaining shreds of legitimacy, the consequences will be grave. I hope America’s enemies are ready to deal with the disaster they are creating.

Obamacare is shockingly unconstitutional.

Absolutely, and in quite a number of different ways.

But in a case before the Court, a plaintiff can't just claim unconstitutionality and present a list of unconstitutional provisions. That would appropriately be the subject of a law journal article. A plaintiff has to prove harm to himself from a particular provision in order to have standing to challenge its constitutionality.

But the current Obamacare case before the SCOTUS isn't really a question of constitutionality; rather it is a question of interpretation of the meaning of the insurance premium reimbursement provision in the law and whether or not it applies to the federal insurance exchange.
