From a USA TODAY editorial on the Obamacare ruling by the USSC:
If the Court had ruled for the plaintiffs...
"Republicans then would have been under enormous pressure to figure out how to let people keep their insurance. But the party is deeply divided over how to remake the law along conservative lines, and now it doesn't have to. Instead, critics are free to continue to snipe and attack, with no responsibility for doing the hard work it would take to write a Republican alternative and build a majority for it. You could almost hear the sigh of relief from Capitol Hill."
