unless you are extraordinarily wealthy you cannot access it. not even middle or high income people have limits to the cost of health care. that s not our main concern here, but the fact is that the cost of health care isรง unsustainable at every level. so the decision that came in on thursday was truly a legal rendering. it was roberts joining four other members of the court, and he rarely joins in a decision. as you have read or thought about the decision in the few days since it came down, what are the key elements of this itself that shift who we are as a country? i believe that the legislation we passed, the act now the law of the land, is transformative for our society. as we go into the fourth of july, we celebrate a freedom for people. it honors the vision of our
as we write every bill, what does it mean to people? what does it mean in terms of job creation and in terms of deficit reduction? will it hold up in court? we knew it would hold up in court under a fair reform of constitutionali constitutionality. a bit of observers for back on their heels that it was roberts. if he was going to be part of the decision, many predicted it to be a 6-3 decision, but for it to be 5-4 and justice kennedy to bonn the other side, it makes me wonder a bit about as you re looking at the supreme court, critics of the citizens united decision and critics of the bush v. gore decision of 12 years ago, how should americans be thinking about the court? aught we rightly invest our sense of responsibility and appreciation for the court or aught we be nervous of the court at this time?
decision. chief justice roberts in his decision, and those who read it, will see he s not supporting the legislation. and he say that is very yearly clearly. it is not about the policy but the constitutionality. and he ruled it was constitutional, as is the role of the court. it is not the role of the court to make law. he s been a strong outspoken person saying that this is not the role of the court. and he honored his, what he had said before. up next, i asked nancy pelosi if washington has lost all sense of civility. and later, can women have it all? also ahead next hour, how elected a president is kind of like asking, who is the daddy? and the actor, blair underwood is joining me the studio. #dreamy. stay right there. welcome aboard!

knows best. in the paternal family model, children need strict rules to division right from wrong so the reproductive freedom you think you want, let daddy make the decision for you for your own good. and that person of the same sex that you re choosing to marry, listen to daddy. he knows this person is just not right for you. the father wants to raise you to be self-sufficient, not to depend on him for help, so that government assistance you applied for to feed your family, daddy wants to cut you off so that you can learn to fend for yourself. on the other hand, voters sometimes want their leader to be a maternal figure, the one that will slip you a few extra bucks to help you during the hard times. this kind of governing authority is based in empathy. think bill clinton, feeling your pain. the maternal leader understands the children s struggles and takes responsibility for making sure that they are going to be all right. right now we have two people vying to be the head of the ameri
congressman anthony weiner invoked the 2000 bush-v-gore decision. you can t be sure of anything on the law when you have a politicalized supreme court that has shown in perhaps the most important case in american history they are prepared to ignore the law. on the substance, this isn t at heart a legal call, in my view. if they are talking at this women s conference yesterday at the white house about the law and you re hearing anthony weiner with what i assume are talking points, are they focusing on that thinking they can t win the political battle? it seems if i look at the virginia ruling and the florida ruling, this is going to be a commerce clause fight. what does that mean to normal people who didn t go to law school? florida ruled you can t tell people, the federal government can t tell people you have to buy health care if you don t
