'we make up the news, you pretend it's real'President Obama declared Thursday that "the Affordable Care Act is here to stay," after winning yet another round in the Supreme Court.
But the battle's not over -- a host of legal and political challenges remain, and if anything, Republicans say they are more emboldened than ever to repeal the law.
"ObamaCare is fundamentally broken, increasing health care costs for millions of Americans. Today's ruling doesn't change that fact," House Speaker John Boehner charged in a statement Thursday, vowing to continue efforts on Capitol Hill to "repeal the law and replace it with patient-centered solutions."
The 6-3 decision upheld insurance subsidies nationwide, rejecting claims that residents in states that did not set up their own exchanges were ineligible for the credits. The decision was the second major court victory for the Obama administration on the president's signature health care law.

Two opinions of the Court do not seem to be sinking in.
