Much in the -- the Supreme Court will not issue a ruling today on a bomb attack -- angle forma Clark for Justice Kennedy is in DC.
What do you make of this delays -- anything at all.
-- I I don't think this is surprising him in the healthcare cases are clearly the biggest cases of the term there are related more -- most complicated cases -- -- -- -- it's -- surprising the court wait to the last day.
Well -- -- -- -- just running for a second Africa's I've seen three decisions from the Supreme Court in the last few days number one.
A seven to two voted against the unions in the Knox case.
Number two.
We've got -- -- state of Arizona now allow all of it.
To -- question people on the immigration status.
Number three.
Montana not allowed to limit corporate campaign contributions those all seem to me to be on the conservative side of judgments which makes me think that the mandate when we got the rolling on Thursday this Thursday.
-- -- -- -- Well IE I don't know I think in the court decides each case at this in front of itself I think the Arizona cases actually something of a mixed verdict if you -- Justice Scalia wrote the dissent.
I at the same time this morning the court had an important death penalty case in which I it through a bone -- -- about the the left so.
-- I think we have here is a court that's closely decided we have decisions coming down.
On both sides title that said what would you say about Scalia offering a -- on walks what was.
-- Justice Scalia dissented in the Arizona immigration case it did.
-- -- -- The the Arizona statute did a number of different things and one of the most contentious was the check your -- provision that.
-- and in that case and the court basically said that Arizona that the united -- -- not.
Proven its case to show -- that provision is preempted but there were several other provisions of the Arizona law including.
Provision that you impose certain criminal penalties under state law -- the court said.
But those provisions were preempted says they'll they'll want it all -- one of the whole law upheld but that's what I want it.
-- exactly he was joined by to a good to the other conservative justices OK I've got to twenty seconds left Stephen.
Is the mandate gonna be struck down yes -- know.
I think it's close question I think what we've seen today is that Chief Justice is likely -- issuing the opinions is a yes or no question are you right -- I now.
I think you know I'm I'm a careful lawyer and I'm not in the prediction game I don't I think it's a close question we're gonna find out Thursday sorry spirit but not so -- I tried I did tries to.
Thanks for being with on a very busy day Stephen -- -- -- are happy to be here thank you very much --
