All right sir.
Good good way to for the Supreme Court to make their decision to believe it is.
And very Smart person I know I think it's going to be tomorrow.
And the Syria is that.
That is a big big decision.
And they don't like to make the Supreme Court clerk's work all weekend printing it out.
That they would work today so that they can have a ready for more -- Missiles and -- and -- -- That health care bill.
Obama care.
And -- -- -- under the don't know what observed adverse market frowned.
-- to decision is going to me.
The very -- friend thinks that it's gonna be upheld 63 with Roberts writing the majority opinion.
That's.
Kind of a counter intuitive.
Second take conventional -- the conventional wisdom.
Is that the -- court lol declare unconstitutional.
The individual mandate.
These these these second.
Conventional wisdom is the -- -- Within the thinking is.
This is all just you know.
Chatter but the thinking is Kennedy -- to preserve the legacy.
We have not happy about how bush V gore and Citizens United.
World perceived.
So he doesn't wanna be seen as as that guy always signing with the conservatives on the big controversial decision so he goes.
So -- -- all Holden and Roberts.
You know not approving of the criticism of him that it is a very partisan -- that always comes -- with these five to four decisions.
In favor conservative.
Opinion.
Joins with Kennedy.
And -- majority opinions sixty -- That's you know its assault conjecture about it but that's that's the -- Now wonder business fails they'll -- -- a mandate.
-- wonderful of the the president observed several bottle Obama Turk and survival multi quarter thing.
Well there's this big question about because both the -- roll -- both both the people arguing in favor of Obama care and the people arguing against that both said.
That if you get rid of the mandate you also have to get rid of the provision requiring insurance companies to cover those.
Who have preexisting conditions.
Because you can't pay for that without.
That would in all these millions of new customers.
That would come on board because of the individual -- so I I think that that provision would.
Likely go discuss both sides were arguing that still locked in.
-- other provisions would probably remain calm.
Some of the some of I don't.
Stipend or or quarterly wanna call them to help people buy health insurance.
The requirement that kids 25 and under could stay on their parents plan updates 25 that -- would probably remain.
I think.
But wolf -- this -- -- it you know it's weird I'm man because.
So often Washington we -- we know what's gonna have a general idea of what's gonna happen is polling this vote -- there's.
That this is one of those you know the decision was made months ago and we still had no idea what that is.
I'll talk -- -- chief White House correspondent.
For a reason news sources.
Down neck and neck with members in island and isn't.
Good Morning America.
There's apparently beating The Today Show.
Like a rented a meal themselves.
-- is Niagara moved back to of the obamacare -- there's some people suggest.
That if that is struck down.
Largely helped -- -- because.
-- rally the base some.
And they don't also -- -- a geopolitical -- -- Yeah I don't know much that described of that having the president having its signature.
Legislative initiatives declared unconstitutional I think -- be a -- pretty big hit I do think it's fair to say that those people.
Who really don't like health care law are not gonna look for Obama and -- the people who you like it are gonna vote for Obama.
So you know as always -- -- -- the battle was over the the 10% -- persuade -- voters and I cannot.
I don't think that it it it's good for the president to have there's been a big initiatives we know what he was focused on so much in the first year and a half.
Declared unconstitutional.
But at the same time.
Romney is a flawed our Republican candidate.
Capitalize on that this could obviously he was before the individual mandate before Obama was remember Obama was against the individual mandate and the primaries and obviously Romney had one passed and the law in Massachusetts so it does get a little bit -- out.
Student auto -- used to -- against.
Jon Stewart -- -- -- On on the the daily shuttle.
Port and out.
Cohen the -- is senator there was loyal and about to bush employment.
Executive privilege to cover things up your -- and implied.
And of course dives and has been dubbed boredom -- soon.
It's weird because you know obviously these documents that I and Republicans house oversight committee.
It's based pushing for have nothing to do with the formation of fast and furious at all after February 2011 at all about how the administration responded.
To.
The congressional inquiry into media inquiries.
And you know it and so and so it's not about national security it's about -- potential egg on states so.
I I think that what the president did likely just kick this down the road in -- long.
After the election the -- will come this week almost.
You know almost certainly.
Eric all the won't be found by the Republicans and -- -- the few Democrats to be in contempt of congress and then.
-- go to the US attorney and that we won't hear anything about until after the election.
So I don't -- somebody went and sought political -- jumped about and others.
Suggested -- -- -- -- Let's -- stretch of may but -- -- I -- or any evidence for the racial thing but certainly.
I'm -- five cents is the knock on him is that he's fairly partisan and to when I I have on my part substituted for George yesterday on on this week.
And I asked I -- about this.
Theory that -- seems to have been giving giving credence to which is that this whole class and first program was just sit.
What Mexico with guns.
To -- in order to create.
More justification for gun control.
We're in and there's no evidence for this and that's really.
Conspiratorial the idea that law enforcement would do that knowing -- people with diet as a result.
Just so they could.
Justify more gun control and and -- -- -- I says did not shoot it down -- several we don't know why.
These particular accent.
So I mean I I I can understand why some people view this investigation skeptically but at the end of the day.
-- -- that the it was a very poorly conceived program and it its formal vote with the potential to body count.
Because I wonder if there's any way.
To did -- and others.
To stop employing the phrase.
-- at the end of the day.
To thank.
At the end of the day I don't know that that's possible.
Because at the end of the day.
Hello it's so burned into my brain that -- the end of the day so.
I don't know that I can excited -- but I'll try.
You know it's ironic because I'm saying -- at the beginning of the that I.
Yeah.
Where it we're we're -- try to -- table -- employment world narratives.
And this is not gonna happen isn't.
I need a -- reshape Europe I think that's now what is the president going on the big summer vacation.
And do you get to grow -- them.
I don't think there's going to be a big summer vacation you mean like a Martha's Vineyard -- kind of thing I'd I'd die down there will be one.
I think he'll probably try to steal away if you long weekend here in their -- But I don't -- Now we're gonna see that vineyard -- I got to do that wants.
And it was it was you know more as my first trip to Martha's Vineyard it's very nice surge can't say I enjoyed it but I.
I I still haven't been able to capitalize on this Hawaii thing.
-- -- -- I'm planning I'm I'm hoping that he's gonna spend December in Hawaii.
