Justice Scalia listed the “somersaults of statutory interpretation” the Supreme Court used to twice uphold Obamacare:

 

 

  • “penalty” means tax,
  • “further [Medicaid] payments to the State” means only incremental Medicaid payments to the State,
  • “established by the State” means not established by the State.
  •  

     

In his dissenting opinion, Scalia explained how Justices redefined “established by the State” to mean the exact opposite of its obvious intention.
