saying if you have a preexisting condition you can t be denied coverage. those two provisions go. but there are many other provisions unrelated to the mandate. things like 2.5 million young adult getting health insurance on their family s plans. seniors getting prescription drug coverage. all those seem unrelated to the mandate so my guess is those provisions would stand. megyn: wendy, what do you think? if the individual mandate goes but they don t throw out the whole law. when nancy pelosi said pass the now now and we ll find out what s in it later with, there is no severability clause. the severability question that a court undertakes, they say are
this is in advance of his bond hearing, they believe that this couple lied to the court in order to get mr. zimmerman a low bond, his bond was ultimately revoked in the wake of these tapes, and the prosecution s argument. this is one of the tapes revealed by the prosecutors today. six in total have been released. i ve been through them all, so has the panel. the question no is what do they tell us about these two individuals and this case. joining me now arthur aidala and mike eiglarsh who is an add skwrupblgt laan adjunct law professor at the university of miami. we never say that about you, mark so we got that in today. megyn: it s not that compelling quite frankly but there is a lot in there that could potentially become relevant to this case. i want to ask you arthur what did you find in here if anything that you find damaging to mr. zimmerman. look, some of it is based on common-sense, megyn. when you say there is nothing compelling i agree in terms of
