So well written. The only counter-argument I have: When SCOTUS was looking at this case, some reporters asked around in congress and no one there said that they intended to limit tax credits to state exchanges.
He addressed that point. Legislative intent should only be considered if a law is ambiguous. If the law says "the speed limit is 55", it doesn't matter if everyone got confused and thought they were setting a 65 speed limit. Congressmen lie about their intent and everything else. The law should do what it says it does on its face
The secretary of health and human services is established by the state of the union. So weather the state of new york sets up an exchange or the state of the union sets up an exchange by empowering the secretary to do such, in both cases, the state has set up an exchange.
What do you mean set up by the state of the union? I have no idea what you are talking about. "the State" or "a State" is referring to one of the several 50 states.
No it isn’t. At least not how the word state is used in the constitution. That is the whole point of federalism. The federal government has supreme, yet enumerated powers while the states have indefinite yet subordinate powers. This is civics 101. Go read the federalist papers.
Because he is updating the country on the status of the country. State in that context doesn't mean a sovereign legal body, it means "the particular condition that someone or something is in at a specific time." For example, you might say to a child, "what is the state of your room?" - meaning, how clean is your room? It doesn't mean the room is a "state" like California or Ohio..
Brilliantly put.
Wow, that was impressive.

Brilliant.
Now you know why Obama took him out

Wonder how much insurance he had when dying of a heart attack.
The opinion for the court by CJ Roberts was also brilliantly reasoned.
