1. Correct me if I'm wrong

but the SC didn't need to agree to take the case because it was going to be decided soon in another court and the whole thing would've ended right there with the courts deciding in favor of the ACA. Since it only takes 4 SC judges to accept a case then it's fair to assume that the same 4 judges that wanted to kill the ACA altogether are the ones that decided to take the case now. Correct? Is it that simple?
