Obamacare on Trial

The arguments being made at the Supreme Court over the precise meaning of the ACA's wording remind me of so many arguments made by 5 year old children.  "When I said we could have ice cream tomorrow, I DID NOT MEAN EXACTLY AT MIDNIGHT".  The meaning of the law was clear at the time; no reasonable person would construe it to mean that subsidies applied only to state run exchanges, and not to the federal ones.  To argue otherwise is simple sophistry.   If the Supreme Court accepts these arguments, then they will have sunk to a new low.
