Yes, it laid out the majority's decision well. If the legislature passes a law that we favor but is unconstitutional, well then by golly let's reinterpret it (in spite of how it was written) and make it constitutional.

You seem to be under the impression that my distaste for the scotus' ruling is that it didn't overturn the ACA, when my far and away larger disappointment is that judges are acting as unelected legislators. I don't know how I can make this any more clear to you.

Perhaps that's because they didn't.

Now, I have a show to listen to.
