Republicans took to Twitter, e-mail, and other electronic media minutes after the Supreme Court announced its ruling to uphold President Obama’s landmark health care law. The common theme: outrage, especially among 2016 presidential contenders. ... But observers said the Supreme Court ruling was actually a win in disguise for the GOP. It allows Republicans to avoid the massive political backlash expected if the court sided with conservative plaintiffs and left more than 6 million people in 34 states without subsidies to buy health insurance.

Infuriated by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that kept President Barack Obama’s healthcare program intact, conservative activists and Republican presidential candidates vowed on Thursday to make the role of the high court a central issue in the 2016 presidential election. Conservative ire was trained particularly on Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote the majority opinion that preserved the subsidy regime underpinning the Affordable Care Act, even though another Republican appointee, Justice Anthony Kennedy, also voted with the majority.

The Supreme Court's resounding rejection of a conservative attempt to gut President Barack Obama's health care overhaul won't stop Republicans from attacking the law they detest. But now, their efforts will be chiefly about teeing up the issue for the 2016 presidential and congressional elections. The court's decision left GOP lawmakers stunned and uncertain about some of their next steps. Most agreed they would continue trying to annul the entire law and erase individual pieces of it, like its taxes on medical devices. Yet many also conceded they have little leverage to force Obama to scale back — let alone kill — one of his most treasured legislative achievements. (6/26)

Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio criticized the high court ruling on "Obamacare" subsidies, saying the Affordable Care Act is bad for Americans and bad for the country. "You have a lot of people out there today who are receiving Obamacare coverage through a subsidized exchange who, when they get to the hospital, are being hit with a $4,000 bill because they have a high deductible," Rubio said while campaigning in New Hampshire.

Sen. Ted Cruz delivered a full-throated critique Thursday of the Supreme Court, saying that it is clear that the “rogue justices” that ruled in favor of Obamacare subsidies are “lawless” political foot soldiers that have joined forces with the Obama administration. (McLaughlin, 6/25)
