By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court upheld the government’s decision to provide Obamacare subsidies to people in 37 states where Obamacare exchanges were established by the federal government even though the law only authorizes such subsidies for people enrolled in an “Exchange established by the State.” John Roberts wrote the majority opinion and was joined by Justices Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor.

Justice Scalia, joined by Justices Thomas and Alito, wrote a blistering dissent that calls the majority opinion ‘absurd.’
