6/29/12 SHOW: THE HISTORIC SUPREME COURT DECISIONS ON HEALTH CARE AND IMMIGRATION

On this week’s show the panelists discuss from many different angles why Chief Justice John Roberts decided in the end to leave the Affordable Care Act as the law of the land.  Is the law really within the government’s constitutional taxing authority?  Is the penalty on non-buyers truly a tax?  Did he want to take the court back from swing Justice Anthony Kennedy?  Was he trying to raise public esteem for the Court?  Was he looking forward to his own legacy?  The panel also comments on the Court’s decision to strike down most of Arizona’s law aimed at controlling illegal immigration.  Join in the conversation online by posting a comment on what you heard.
