+Think Progress claims that there's four big problems with the case against the federal government subsidies to those in "federal exchanges," and accuse the other side of lying.
The funny part is that the first three sentences of the article each contain significant lies.
* The Supreme Court is not making any decision to "take health care away" from anyone. That is not a part of the decision at all.
* The premise of the argument is not that "most of the text of the Affordable Care Act does not count," but that the government is incorrectly interpreting it.
* They do not "claim [that] a single sentence of the law must be plucked out of context;" again, they claim it should be interpreted differently than the government thinks it should.
ProTip: if you're going to accuse others of lying, don't start off by lying.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
