Prosecuted bombings in birmingh birmingham. Last night the president left the white house heading to oklahoma where his Campaign Said there were hundreds of thousands of ticket requests and he would give an address to the arena and an overflow crowd. The events in oklahoma is unbelievable. The crowds are unbelievable. They havent seen anything like it. But this is what he found instead. The overflow area where his campaign built a stage was almost empty. Inside the arena, there were thousands of empty blue seats. The Tulsa Fire Department said fewer than 6,200 were inside the 19,000seat venue. The trump camp claims it was twice that. In his campaign speech, he spent more time talking about walking down a ramp than he did on George Floyds death. He repeatedly attacked joe biden drawing boos from the crowd but none of the chants from when trump rallied against Hillary Clinton. President trump said this about his strategy for fighting coronavirus. When you do testing to that extent, youre
Reason. Good evening, shannon. Reporter hello, bret, for the second time the Supreme Court led by chief justin john roberts, george w. Burn appoint year has upheld president obamas chief legislative achievement and handed the administration a big win. In a 63 decision the Supreme Court made clear it will have no part in dismantling the Affordable Care act. At issue whether the irs violated the law when it extended subsidies into all 50 states despite a phrase in the aca that says subsidies will exist in states that have september up exchanges. More than 30 of them chose not to. Writing for the majority chief Justice John Roberts said while the meaning of the phrase an exchange established by the state may seem plain when viewed in isolation, such a reading turns out to be untenable. Those credits are necessary to avoid the type of calamitous result that congress plainly meant to avoid. Judge scalia wrote this court rewrites the law to make tax credits available everywhere we should sta
Africa but to the u. S. And the world that we stop the outbreak. We begin with breaking news. Just moments ago, president obama said hes looking at new measures to protect americans from ebola. Procedures are now in place to rapidly evaluate anybody who might be showing symptoms. We saw that with the response of the airplane in newark and how several hospitals across the United States have been testing for possible cases. One of the things we discussed today is how we make sure were spreading the word across hospital, clinics, anyplace where a patient might first come in contact with a medical worker to make sure that they know what to look out for and theyre putting in place the protocols and following those protocols strictly. And so well be reaching out not only to governors and mayors and Public Health officials, but we want to continue to figure out how we can get the word out everywhere so everybody understands exactly what is needed to be done. On top of that new, we have other
Challengers say that the law only provides that subsidy on the state exchanges, not the federal one. And now the Supreme Court has agreed to answer that question of which way it actually which way what the words of the statute mean. What does the law provide . Thats an interesting thing, pete, because were talking about the words used and if they can be ordered to be interpreted different from the way the law put forward meant it. Is it unusual for the Supreme Court to take a case where the law that put the side forward is telling the country what it intended but just the linguistics are in question . No, because the word of the law are ultimately what count. Everybody agrees on that. Youre right, the Obama Administration says when you read the law as a whole, its quite clear that the goal of the law was to provide this insurance subsidy for anybody. The opponents say, well, thats nice. That may have been the goal but the law itself, the black and white words are what govern and the wo
