in a stunning 6-3 decision the court saved the linchpin of the president's health carol law. those federal subsidies that already help 6.4 million americans in 34 states purchase health insurance. chief justice john roberts, who saved obamacare once before back in 2012 did it again today, rejecting conservatives arguments that nose federal subsidies should not be provided to people who live in states that have refused to set up their own obamacare health insurance exchanges. but the chief justice declared that made no sense, given the purpose of the law. congress passed the affordable health care ability to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them, roberts wrote. roberts ruled that courts should follow what congress intended when they wrote the law. in a democracy, he wrote, the power to make the law rests with those chosen by the people our role is more confined. justice antonin scalia furious in his dissent. on the losing side again, and blasting his colleagues who keep

saving this law. we should start calling this law scotus scotuscare he sneered. he added, the discouraging truth that the supreme court of the united states favors some laws other overs. at the white house, the president in the rose garden relieved. >> this is health care in america. what we're not going to do is unravel what has now been woven into the fabric of america. >> and terry moran live with us now from washington because terry, the supreme court is not done yet. a major decision on same sex marriage could come as early as tomorrow? >> reporter: absolutely david. this is the one everyone has been waiting for on whatever side of the question you're on. in this case, it could mean -- could mean -- that gay couples in every state in the united states would have a constitutional right to marry and it could come as early as tomorrow. >> all right, terry moran and we know you'll be right there tomorrow. terry, thank you. but we do have one more question on obamacare tonight. let's get right to jon karl over

at the white house. you saw the tweets, among them rand paul tweeting this decision turns both the rule of law and common sense on its head. vowing to repeal it if elected. others vowing to do the same. but jon, you were telling me earlier that quietly, there are some republicans who are relieved this is off the table for now? >> reporter: that is right, david. publicly republicans are expressing outrage over this ruling, but privately, many republican leaders are breathing a sigh of relief because if this ruling had gone the other way, more than 6 million americans, most of them from states with republican governor would have lost their health care subsidies and republicans were deeply divided about what to do about it. that said despite that relief david, republicans have voted 67 times to repeal all or part of obamacare, and you can bet that will try again. >> all right, 67 times and counting. jon, thank you. we have major developments tonight in the case of those convicted killers on the run. believed to be armed and dangerous, possibly with guns from that cabin in the woods.

conspired with the killers. we caught up with palmer saturday -- did you have anything to do with their escape? >> no comment at this time but i'm here on my own free will to help and assist. >> reporter: he wouldn't say much then but in a radio interview in 2000 he complained how stressful life is for guards in the prison. >> with the money they pay you, you'll become an alcoholic and kill yourself. >> reporter: tonight, authorities still comebing these dense woods. one of the theories police are working on is whether they followed this trail under these power lines all the way from the prison to that cabin off of wolf pond road. police once again warning the men are dangerous and are likely heavily armed. and david, that danger prompting a children's summer camp in the area today to cancel its first week. david? >> linzie thank you. we're going to turn now to two separate arson investigations tonight. two different churches in the south. among them this church in charlotte. the fbi telling us there is no
