tomorrow. we are getting from the left jeffrey toobin, who is a liberal commentator called this a train wreck for the obama administration. kennedy is a lost cause. the solicitor general did a poor job defending the law. clement did an excellent job attacking the law. based on what i heard today this law is in grave grave trouble. i largely agree with what jay said. justice kennedy did express more scepticism about the mandate than any of us anticipated. on the other hand as jay point out, it is really hazardous to try to read the tea leaves on members of the court s questioning. frequently they ask questions to play devil s advocates. it isn t necessarily a bomb
annan is in china rallying support for the peace plan today. both china and russia opposed previous attempts to take tough actions against the syrian regime. we are now in the second hour of the second day of historic supreme court arguments on the affordable care act, health insurance for all. four separate issues are taking up six hours of court time over three days. today, the biggie, whether americans can be required to buy health insurance or pay a penalty. critics say it s unconstitutional. supporters say getting everybody in the pool is the only way to spread out the risk and manage costs. they say everyone consumed health care. the only question is who pays. never before seen details on the police report of trayvon martin s killing paint a different picture of that deadly encounter. orlando sentinel reports that george zimmerman was bleeding from the face and head when police arrived. they claim trayvon attacked him before shots were fired. up until now, accounts
happened. he was sitting in the sixth row. he saw the captain leave the cockpit and then try to break into the bathroom. there was someone in there. he said the pilot was knocking on the bathroom door. then the flight attendants start started to pay attention there was a bit of commotion. the steward got on the phone and was talking to someone in the cockpit. then they changed the codes on the door. he overheard part of that conversati conversation. then they tried to take the captain to the back of the plane. he broke free and went to the front of the plane, banging on the door, threatening to blow up the plane. he started to asking for the security code. remember, cockpit doors are locked post 9/11. some pilots fly armed. but this gentleman was clearly trying to get into the cockpit according to the account of this passenger onboard. jet blue said there was a medical situation with the captain and another captain onboard was able to step into the cockpit and assist the firs
you re saying picard is overreaching. i think he is. because he s seeking a billion dollars back, what s that doing to the mets? well, the mets are in grave, grave trouble. first of all, they stink. i mean, the team is no good. i m a mets fan. that s the thing. i m also realistic about that. and so attendance is down. right. in addition, they ve made a lot of bad investments in players who didn t turn out to be talks about that. that turned out to be a big story here in new york that fred made some perhaps incautious but certainly very accurate assessments of players like david wright, jose reyes, carlos beltran, but the point is the mets are losing a great deal of money. and he is now getting a minority owner to invest the team. right. if there s anybody who s willing to put money in at the numbers you re talking act, god bless him. looks like that deal is happening. he may have somebody. somebody from wall street, wouldn t you know it. it s a tragic, interes
my story about fred wilpon. and frankly, i am sympathetic to wilpon on this score, that i didn t see going back into the history the red flags that fred and company knew or should have known that this was a ponzi scheme. you know, those of us who are not involved in the financial world, i never heard of bernie madoff until the story came out. right. in that world, madoff had a very good reputation. he was chairman of nasdaq for three terms. he had been investigated by the s.e.c. and cleared by the s.e.c. that is highly significant in my view if you are an investor with him. you re saying picard is overreaching. i think he is. because he s seeking a billion dollars back, what s that doing to the mets? well, the mets are in grave, grave trouble. first of all, they stink. i mean, the team is no good. i m a mets fan. that s the thing. i m also realistic about that. and so attendance is down. right. in addition, they ve made a
