King vs Burwell ... The ACA subsidy challenge

How do you see this being ruled on by the SCOTUS?

I believe the status quo will continue. States without exchanges will continue to receive Federal subsidies.
If that does not continue and subsidies are lost I have read a lot about how the GOP will catch the blame for this. I am not too sure about this. If this happens I think the RW Media on TV, radio, and the Internet would go into hyperdrive blaming "Obamacare". Many would fall for this like they have with many lies from CON media.

where the liberal justices vote to uphold it based on the argument the administration forwarded, the 3/4 conservatives vote against that argument and 1/2 (Kennedy/Roberts) find some other justification for upholding the status quo.
