no more of that. >> sean: we are out of that time see you back here tomorrow night. greta? >> tonight, it's all on the line. the supreme court tackling the part of the -- heart of the health care debate-- the individual mandate. is it constitutional or not isn't only sure thing, the fate of the u.s. u.s. healthcare sysm and maybe a presidential election could be at stake. and it may come down to one justice. tonight, lawyer michael carbon is here. he argued against the president's health care law, before the high court. on the other side, a congressman who helped write the law, representative rob andrews is here and texas attorney general, greg abbott. you will hear from them all. but first, it was a wild day in the supreme court today. justices firing questions at the lawyers and the decision could come down to a swing vote of just one justice, justice anthony kennedy.

justice kennedy today asking some key questions. >> can you create commerce in order to regulate it? >> when you are changing the relation of the individual to the government in this -- what we can stipulate is, i think a unique way, do you not have a heavy burden of justification to show authorization under the constitution? >> the reason this is concerning is because it requires the individual to do an affirmative act. in the law of torts, our tradirks our law has been that you don't have the duty tow rescue someone if that person's in danger. and here the government is saying that the federal government has a duty tow tell the individual citizen that it must act. and that is different from what we have in previous cases. that changes the relationship of the federal government to the individual in a very fundamental way.

>> greta: shannon bream was inside the courtroom. she joins us from washington. shannon, what was it like? >> reporter: it was very, very rapid fire, for two hours today. normally, of course, there is a one-hour argument. but today the court gave this a lot of significance, taking two hours to talk about this mandate. and justice kennedy had to know everybody was watching them. he didn't disappoint. you played in excerpt, very quickly into the argument, he asked that fundamental question -- can you create commerce to force someone into commerce? to force them to be regulatorred? the challenge that the states and the private entities have brought against this law. he was very vocal. and the court did something unusual. at the halfway mark, one hour do the argument. the chief justice said, let's take a moment, everybody get up and stretch. at that point, all we had heard were these kequestions about justice kennedy's concerns about changing the game between the individual and the government.

and immediately people started talking and looking at each other and the consensus was that the mandate could be in trouble. the argument wasn't over and we heard from from justice kennedy later t. doesn't appear that he is a solid vote in either direction. >> sean: when you hear the questions from justices, you make the assumption that the justice holds a particular viewpoint, sometimes the justice is challenging the lawyer to get more information about the issue. a lot of people came out of the courtroom and said that the mandate was in trouble. i don't know. i wait until i hear from the court because so often, i have been surprised. were there any questions that you heard that suggested that anyone was certain that the mandate is constitutional? >> many, many of them, yes. as you would imagine, some of the justices we expected to stick together in supporting the mandate, justices ginsburg and cagan, the idea that there is a stream of commerce in play, it's the health care market, everybody at some point, you are going to be taking part in it.

each of those justices talking about the fact that those who don't buy insurance, you are young and healthy, you are impacting at least by the argument by the government, you are impacting the cost of other people when you don't get insurance and you need care that, cost is passedded on to others. we heard that again and again from justices ginsburg and cagan who seem to be clear votes in favor of upholding the mandate. >> greta: did justice thomas ask a question, did he today? >> he maintained his six-year silence. there were a couple of times he sat up and moved up to where they would speak in the microphone, almost like a head fake because there were a couple of points where we thought he is about to say something! but he didn't. >> greta: who was in the courtroom? any celebrities? >> reporter: by washington standards, eric holder was there, hhs secretary and cath ligue lean sebelius.

they were there. but just about any and every senator you could imagine packing into the courtroom was there, from both sides of the aisle. a number of members of congress on the house side as well, all together, mixing together in bipartisan seating situation. it was interesting because you know, having been in the court many time, right at 10:00 eastern time, there is a buzzer that rings and the justices walk in and the court gets started. the second hand continued past that normal startinged and we started to buzz and say, somebody's late, something happened tonly happened once when justice scalia had been in a fender-bender, but a late arrival did walk in. it was senator john kerry. he made a very dramatic only a few seconds late, but a few seconds late in the supreme court can feel like an a-- eternity. >> greta: that's today. the individual mandate. but tomorrow, there is more. what is the issues tomorrow? >> reporter: two parts. in the morning, severable. if the justices take that step and knock down the mandate, can

the rest of the law survive? can peatses of it survive? that'sing something they will ae in the morning and then in the afternoon, they argue about the medicaid expansion. under the law, millions will be forced to medicaid. and many say, it's an overstretch and second of all, we can't afford t. the federal government will subsidize a good part of that funding, up front. they start with 100% and fund the new people. but that does taper off and the states will have to make up some of the difference. they say they can't afford it and it should be money that is coming to them. but the feds say, if you don't go along with the new plan that puts millions more of individuals, possibly on to your roles, you lose all federal funding attached to medicaid, billions of dollars. the states say it's coercion and they can't afford it. >> greta: they are supposed to ignore what's going on outside the courthouse. and we will have more on that. but any reference at all to the protesters, on both sides of the

issue, outside the courthouse? was it completely ignored inside the courtroom? >> reporter: yeah. it's funny because you know it's a birks marshal building. it's very much like a fortress, there is security everywhere. honestly, you couldn't hear it. but there were three or four times the protesters now as on day 1. very active on both sides. people were polite, but they were singing, chanting and busy. for a moment, i thought, gosh, i wonder if the justice who is have these great windows, i wonder if they're see it or hear it, but inside, you can't hear any of it. >> greta: nobody can report this better than you can. thank you. i am sure you will be in court tomorrow. thank you, shannon. reporter: thanks, greta. >> greta: this case is making history. the supreme court's decision will have an impact on every single american. michael carbon is one of the lawyers arguing against president obama's health care law before the high court. today, he took on justice --

code -- sedemeyer. >> you can't buy a car without emissions control. i don't want a car with emission control, it's less efficient in terms of horse power, biam forced to do something i don't want to do by government regulation. >> you are not forced to buy a product you don't want. i agree with you that since the government regulates all markets, there is no limiting principle on their compelled purchase. when they put these environmental -- >> force me to buy it -- >> no. >> unpasteurized goods, goods that don't have pesticides but have others. there is government compulsion in almost every economic decision because the government regulates so much. >> it's a condition of life that some may rail against.

>> greta: does she have a point? michael, how did you answer the justice? >> obviously, if you decide to buy a car, the government can tell you to tell the car companies what's in the car, but the difference is that the government's trying to tell you to buy the car. and as justice kennedy pointed out, that's a fundammal alteration of the government and the citizens. never before has the government said, buy products you don't want because it will help other people. >> greta: justice breyer asked you a question, i am parapraise phrasing, asked if the federal government couldn't order vaccinations if a terrible epidemic was sweeping the nation and your answer was that on vaccinations across the nation? >> there was an old case, called morrisson, people are doing horrible things to women and the court said, it's a terrible activity, but it's not an economic activity.

and under the commerce clause, you can regulate economic activity. vaccinations is not an economic activity. the states can and will control any nationwide epidemic. but this is even easier because the analogy is, can you force someone to buy a vax eep for somebody else. i am not the problem or creating the problem, but i am the solution that the government has used. that's the key thing to understand. the reason they are compelling the uninsured to buy the insurance was to lower health insurance premiums because they are bringing in a bunch of healthy people into the risk pool, bringing down the health insurance premiums to counteract the fact that they brought in all the sick people who are obviously going to drive up premiums. >> greta: all right. now, the viewers may wonder why you are arguing. paul clement is arguing for the state. who are you representing and why are they a party?

>> i represent the nfib, sole proprietorrors who don't think they need health care. and if they did, it would be of a catastrophic nature, not a cadillac plan that the government's forcing on them, including wellness programs and contraceptives so they decided they would rather pay out of pocket, than pay $7- to $20,000 in insurance premiums. the government will only spend $500 for helt care is making them spend $20,000 for insurance. they don't think the government can force to you buy a product and you can't buy a product that is too expensive for the avowed purpose of helping other people. >> greta: is this the first time in the supreme court arguing? >> no, this is the sixth time. >> greta: does this change from time to time? tell me the personal side of. >> this there is nine very intelligent people, eight of

whom ask a lot of questions and very aggressive. so you spend your half hour being a ping pong ball between the justices because some of them are trying to make a point. in of them are trying to rebut the point. all of my previous cases have been 5-4. this is not an unusual experience for me. >> greta: did you have the sense that any of them had already made up their minds, nothing to stop them. this is part. process. but did you -- when you listened to them ask the questions, did you think, this justice has already decided? >> well, look. obviously, these people have thought about these issues. many of them have written on the commerce clause, previously, so you have a good sense of who is coming from where. i think they all take their responsibility, particularly on a piece of major legislation like this, seriously. so they will think about it. you said it before, it's a sucker's game to think that their questions are necessarily going to tell you how they are going to vote. but i do think it tells what you they are concerned about. what they were concerned about

here was where does the government get this power? how can you square it with the language of the constitution? and if they and make you buy this product, how did we stop them from making you buy any product when it's convenient? i think that's where the government failed to address the concerns of the justices. it couldn't answer those questions. >> greta: in terms of personal strategy, a lot of people talk about the fact that justice kennedy's thought to be the swing vote, the uncertain one. we could be nuts about it and we could be dead wrong. but i am curious, if preparing for your argument that you needed to connect most with justice kennedy? >> well, you know, everybody can count. sure. you want to make sure that -- people who you think might be on the fence about this, that you address their concerns in particular. justice kennedy is nur piece before indicate the, was pretty straight forward about his serious concerns about the government's position and the ramifications. so, sure, when i stood up, tried

to tell him that there were no limitations on the government's argument and if you let them do this, then you wouldl let them do anything. since we are based on a system and the federal government has limited enumerated powers, you would be undoing the constitution's scheme. >> greta: would you agree it's an exciting case to argue. >> they're all fun. but this is particularly interesting. >> greta: michael, thank you. >> thanks a lot? >> the drama's heating up and the protests are growing louder outside. protesters on both sides of the battle, clashing on the high court steps. and today, even members of the congress showing up to make their voices heard. griff jenk jenkins was outside the supreme court. >> reporter: greta, day 2 here at the supreme court and the crowd is considerably larger. thousands turning out, some in support of the law, others against it.

>> honestly, i will not comply with the law because i believe in freedom. >> health care for everyone is a human right. you can hear it out loud here in the people who showed up today. it's really important. this is going to be history. >> health care is a human right. it's greatly benefitting women and families and millions of americans. i think everyone in this country should have access to quality, affordable health care. >> this is one of the most important days in the history of the united states supreme court, but even more important, to the maintenance of liberty for every american in this country. >> if they don't strike down this mandate, then it is going to open the ability for the government to regulate every component of their life. >> it's ultimately about our liberty and whether we will change the very fabric of our government. >> i am worried about all the

millions of americans who are not insured, who have no choice for whom these people seem to show no care at all. >> i pay for my own insurance. i pay for my own health. i am here for those people who can't. >> during these three days of arguments, the american people are going to learn a lot more about this statute, what and it is what it isn't and the consequences. they are going to learn, hey, this isn't so bad. >> there is a lot of good in this bill. an enormous amount. >> reporter: aside from the action in front of the supreme court, thousands turned out to watch in the shadow of the capitol, under the umbrella of the americans for prosperity. thousands against obamacare. >> we need to get rid of this thing, now. >> i don't think the government should mandate the health care that i should be able to have. where's the freedom in that.

>> we are find finding out what's in twe want it gone. >> this is exciting. americans coming to take their country back. they want their rights restored. we want them to restore it in the supreme court. but we will restore it in congress. >> greta: broccoli, electric car, is there a limit to what the government can force to you buy? find out from the texas attorney general, greg abbott, on the record, next. what a scare for passengers. a jetblue pilot goes rogue in the middle of the flight. it was so bad, the pilot had to be locked out of the cockpit. what provoked all of this? and new jersey governor chris christie is taking on the boss -- what does he want bruce springsteen to do? why is he so adamant about it? ok, guys-- what's next ? chocolate lemonade ? susie's lemonade... the movie. or... we make it pink ! with these 4g lte tablets, you can do business at lightning-fast spes.

>> greta: former speaker of the house newt gingrich is scaling back his campaign. communications director joe desantis says, speaker gingrich is cutting back his schedule, planning to lay off a third of his full-time staff and has forced out his manager. they are focusing on what it will take to win what we are going to be calling a big choice convention in august. now, we are going to bring you more on this developing new

story, as it happens. the real end game is getting it to the supreme court. now, that is what texas attorney general greg abbott said about obamacare two years ago, whether he joined 22 states filing suit. now it's happening at the court. and attorney general abbott was inside the supreme court today, listening to the justices today. does he think the states are going to win or lose? attorney general abbott is here. let me ask you the question we ask among ourselves. was there any particular question that you thought from a justice -- when you thought, ouch, that one hurts. that scares me, as someone in your position to throw it out. >> right. greta, i used to serve on the texas supreme court. it's a big mistake for anyone to read too much into these questions, despite that fact, however, you did see robust questions coming from four key justices aimed at the lawyer as

a solicitor general, arguing on behalf of the obama administration. the thing that would concern me about the solicitor general and the obama administration is that those four justices were asking all the questions that duff tail with the argumentsy that that we have been making for two years. in the history of time, greta, so important to remember, it was two years ago that nancy pelosi said, you can believe the attorney general is filing these lawsuits? now we are getting the questions from the justices, reminding everybody that this is really about the united states constitution and a unique moment in history -- you know, it's been 50 years since we have had an oral argument last this long? left, justice ginsburg asked this. she said, how come congress can compel young people to contribute to social security, but be limited in compelling a contribution to a health care mandate? what's the difference? >> well, the difference is,

under the tax and spend clause. and that's the key argue argument that we are making here. there are pathways that congress could have taken to institute this massive health care program but congress purposefully didn't choose those pathways. instead, they cheese an innovative, difficult, unconstitutional pathway, through the individual mandate, as was argued in court today and raised by some of the justices, had congress pursued their taxing authority, which they clearly have, then this probably would have been upheld. >> greta: which shows how the sausage is made because -- at least, i think so. they deliberately, in passing said that this is not a tax and used that pathway that would have passed constitutional muster because they didn't want the american people tong they were raising taxes because that's the nail in the coffin, politically. so had they chosen the right pathway, instead of taking some of the politically expedient,

you probably wouldn't be making that argument right now? >> you are precisely correct. it's one of the issues that one of the justices raised about being honest with the american people when you pass a bill. if you recall, greta, when the bill was first drafted, it was categorized as a tax, they eliminated the word tax and replaced it with penalty because congress didn't want to have to be subject to casting a vote, imposing a massive tax increase, especially on americans make less than $250,000 a year. >> greta: now something that i think will bite the government in the rear end, tomorrow's issue on the severability clause, the clause that is not in this legislation. so as i understand it -- correct me if i am wrong -- because the clause is not in the legislation, should the supreme court say that the mandate is unconstitutional, they can't sever it out and let the rest of the statute be alive and well. instead, the entire statute's going to have to go. >> right. here again, an early version of

the statute did have a severability clause. the final version did not. that could be read as congressional intent that they did not want it to be severed out. and for everyone to understand what we are talking about here fit could be severed out that, would mean that the court would rule that the individual mandate of obamacare unconstitutional but allow the rest of the law to stand. because it doesn't have that severence clause, the argument that the states are making is that it should not be severed and once it is ruled unconstitutional, the entire law should fall and obamacare this no longer exist. >> greta: no cameras in the supreme court. as a former texas supreme court -- i think we ought to be able to have the cameras. but i am curious, should shthere be cameras on the important issues? >> i think there should be. this is part of american history. you can see by the number of

people surrounding the united states building, protesting on capitol grounds and across the country for the past two years, this is history. and the people of america need to be able to see it across the country. >> greta: thank you. >> thank you, greta. >> greta: coming up, congressman rob andrews helped to write the law. how is he defending the individual mandate? he goes on the record. that's next. president obama knows the mike is on. he isn't waiting until after the election to explain himself. the president tries to explain away what he never meant for you to hear.

>> greta: day 2 of the supreme court showdown on the president obama helt care law. can the government force to you buy helt insurance? if yes, is there anything the government cannot make you buy? >> how do you define the market that broadly, health care? it may be that everybody needs health care, but not everyone needs a heart transplant. not everybody needs a liver transplant -- >> that's correct. but you never know -- >> could you define the market? everybody has to be buy food. you define the market as food. everybody's in the market. therefore you can make people buy broccoli. >> that's quite different. that's quite different. >> greta: rob andrews helped write the legislation. he joins us. good evening, sir. >> greta, usually better to have

nuwashington. but it's good to be with you remotely. >> greta: start this. there has to be interstate commerce. the federal government can't get involved unless it's interstate commerce. >> that's correct. >> greta: to paraphrase what one of the justices said, can you force someone into commerce so you can regulate the person? >> i don't think you can. but when someone's in commerce anyway because they use the hospital emergency room if the need arises, then the cost of their care is either borne by them as a matter of individual responsibility or borne by the rest of the community. so the person's in commerce already. >> greta: so by the hypothetical that most of us are likely going to need some health care, some time. some of us -- you could be hit by a truck tomorrow and there is no health care. but the government's theory that at some point, we are going to need health care, probably, therefore taffects interstate

commerce and can be regulated by the federal government. >> yes. it imposes a responsibility in our neighbors if we don't choose to take that responsibility ourselves. a person who says that -- i am going to opt out of buying health insurance for myself is in effect aking, should they need it in an emergency situation that the taxpayers and other premium payers should pick up the tab. now, you can argue that that's a bad policy decision. but i don't think it's beyond the constitutional authority of the duly elected legislative branch and the president. >> greta: is there something that the government -- is there a limit to the government's power in this? >> yes, there is. i think the limitation is -- if someone's not going to engage in the use of a product or service, then certainly, you can't penalize them if they don't buy it. so, for example, someone may never play baseball or be interested in baseball. so forcing them to buy a baseball ticket would be --

would not make sense and would be beyond the power of the government and the commerce clods. >> greta: so hypothetical, if i signed a paper saying i refuse any medical care, no one can take me to the hospital, don't do anything at all -- would that fall within something -- would i be forced in if -- could i be forced into the commerce anyway? >> well, there is a religious exemption to this. if someone as a matter of religious faith believes that refusing health care is a matter of principle, they are permitted to do that. but if it is not a matter of religious judgment, no, because you would be visiting this cost on your neighbor, you would be subject -- by the way, this is why mitt romney and newt gingrich and chuck grassily and fill brist and a lot of -- frist originated this idea. >> greta: did you hear the discussion with the attorney

general of texas, about had this been called a tax and instead of the politically unpopular -- nobody likes to raise taxes -- but had it achieved a different pathway, you could have achieved what you wanted in terms of an individual mandate without this battle in the supreme court? >> well, i wouldn't accept the premise that it is not a tax. the mechanism to collect the penalty is through the internal revenue code. as a matter of fact-- but that's -- from the very beginning, we could go back to tape after tape, no this is not a tax. so it's hard to sell to the american people or ignore the youtube tapes recalling it -- >> but here's the legal reality. a person who does not assume responsibility and buy health care pays a penalty-- penalty. not a tax -- penalty is different from a tax. >> collected by the internal revenue service.

>> and a person who does buy health care receives a subsidy. so this is a tax mechanism that is used-- i don't think -- you know what? i don't think tax is defined by who collects it. >> how would you define it. >> greta: you could have the internal revenue service collect a penalty, it doesn't resolve it as a tax. >> is there any penalty collected by the revenue service that isn't called a tax? why not call a duck? >> i don't think constitutionally, it makes a difference. >> greta: i don't know what the pleekt is going to decide on that. >> i don't either. >> greta: i think we are going to learn by the end of june. >> but i do think this one thing, i think the truly conservative decisions here would be to let the law stand, to show deference to the elected branches and let the people decide in the election -- let the people decide. >> greta. >> gus passed the law -- i don't know how many read it -- >> i read it? it's shipped out to hhs, and i

don't know how many thousands of rules that are being created and implemented that affect all of us that elected officials are not making -- that's the nature of the way this is done. but the elected officials are not writing this law that are affecting us. >> i would disagree with that. the elected people made the decision to have the employer mandate, to have the benefits package, to close the donut hole and eliminate the pre-existing condition discrimination. i think the court and will should defer to the elected branches and thereto matter be decided by 130 million voters in november and not 9 justices in june? we will see what happens come june. i am sure we will have more time to talk about it t. congressman, thank you, sir. >> i look forward to. >> greta: coming up, a best-selling author and her book on paperback and one other thing -- she's in the sixth grade. she will be here with her famous father, her co-author.
