Barney Frank lived up to his last name, and might live to regret it in Dem circles. On this morning's Up With Steve Kornacki, Frank admitted that the key Obamacare clause that the Supreme Court just agreed to consider was a "mistake." The clause on its face limits Obamacare subsidies to people obtaining coverage through state exchanges.  Only 14 states set up exchanges, yet the Obama admin has been granting subsidies to millions of people who got their policies through federal marketplace instead.  

If SCOTUS enforces the literal language of the law, it could well deal a death blow to Obamacare.  The Blaze's Will Cain was quick to highlight Barney's major admission, much to the displeasure of the surly former congressman from Massachusetts .
