In June we should expect to find out whether this is a nation of laws, or a post-constitutional totalitarian bastion.
The ACA Law states clearly these words: ""established by the state."
And this was exactly what the Liberals/Progressives/Democrats intended.....it was not in error.

The challenge, which is being funded by a libertarian think tank, argues the section of the ACA dealing with the subsidies only provides for aid in an exchange "established by the state" — and therefore, none of the nearly three dozen states with federal-run exchanges.
The Obama administration and supporters say a full reading of the law makes clear that the subsidies can flow through federal-run exchanges, which they argue was the intent of Congress when they drafted the law.— and therefore, none of the nearly three dozen states with federal-run exchanges.

4. In the forty-seventh paper of The Federalist, Madison wrote,
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
The Supreme Court will clarify whether this is still America, or some iteration of the regime that Franklin Roosevelt envied, that of Joseph Stalin.
