so-called framework was announced the an ed one and his team has committed a series of gaffes. first he made us all believe he had everybody onboard. that was never the case. he has taken fire from both sides of the . democrats have been upset. at a aren't meeting one anonymous member shouted f the president. congressman moran has been quoted as saying this is a lack of leadership. i don't know where the blank obama is on this or anything else. the biggest blunder came friday when president obama made a surprise visit to the white house briefing room along side former president clinton. it want long before president clinton command deared that podium. that lead to this emembarrassing interrupt . >> he can say whatever he wants. >> here's what i'll say. i've been keeping the first lady waiting for about half an hour. so i'm gonna takeoff. >> i don't want to make her

mad, please go. >> you are in good happeneds. and gibbs will call last question. >> help me, thank you. >> go ahead. >> sean: how damaging has all this been for the president? will the deal pass for the end of the year? with us to help answer this and many other questions is dick morris. first of all, clinton stayed there for an hour, dick. i mean, i'm in charge here and you know. almost like an al haig moment. >> it was, it was so cool. people are making a fundamental mistake when they compare obama's surrender over this bush tax extension deal to clinton's moving to the center. when clinton moved to the center it was because he won fights for things he wanted. he wanted a balanced budget deal, without cutting medicare and that stuff. he held out for it, he got it. he won the government shutdown

did the deal. he wanted a welfare reform bill. he campaigned on it. he vetoed two that he thought were bad a bill, signed it and pushed it through. those were acts of victory as well as centristism. obama is an act of surrendering to move to the center. difference between moving to the center and fleeing to the center. barack obama faces a cosmic choice. either he's gonna lose in 2012 because he's too radical or because he's too weak. >> sean: interesting you bring up this clinton analogy. some people writing me saying, hannity wait a second, you this wrong. you won and give the president as he moves to the center. my argument is, he just had the biggest loss in 70 years in a midterm election number one. and number two, he didn't have the votes. he didn't have the votes in the senate. he was literally dragged kicking and screaming into a

compromise where frankly i would argue he got too much. >> i agree with everything you just said. i did believe that he campaigned for president, primarily on the pledge of raising taxes on making -- >> sean: we played the montage last book he said it constantly. >> now he's lost that today he lost his health care reform on constitutionality. it will be relitigated. in supreme court you can bet that will be a 5-4 -- >> sean: i want to get to that in a second. the president a little unhinged. republicans are hostage-takers, the end think. -- enemy. i think we are seeing a side of barack obama, angry, almost pet . on the other hand you the -- pet . on the other hand you the democrats furious with him. two weeks we discussed, he lied. >> i don't think using the f-word is abnormal for the democrats. it is when they don't.

the point here is that obama may well go down in history having lost the presidency for weakness. if he starts losing fight after fight with the republicans, which he will. if the republicans united he's going to cave over the debt limit, he's going to cave over bailing out states from bankruptcy. he's going to cave over a tax increase in his final budget. he's going to have to cave over obamacare. and he will really look very, very weak. clinton looked strong moving to the center. because he won and moved to the center. >> sean: he was also a southern governor. they have two different backgrounds. from chicago, radical leftists that he hung out with et cetera. i think there's two different backgrounds here. the democrats are so used to the cornhusker kickback, louisiana purchase, they want to sweeten the deal in the senate, ethanol subsidies,

help big cities, they want to get -- if we give you this, republicans aren't gonna let that happen. what if this -- what if his on party rejects his deal that he cut with senator mcconnell? >> look, if this doesn't pass, it is the most wonderful thing of all. on january 2nd, -- [ talking over each other ] >> the republican party comes back and gives america a big fat christmas present january 2nd. >> sean: they look great. >> they extend bush tax cuts. kill inher tax. cut 100 billions of spending and take out all of the extra stuff obama had. and obama has to sign it. >> sean: tactically, republicans should have never made a deal. you are making the case they should have insisted up or down vote on raising taxes and no extra spending. and then wait until january and then come in and be -- >> they should have included we want spending cuts to pay

for the bush tax cuts for the first year. they should not have cut a deal. if the democrats let them out of the deal, it would be fabulous that's why, by the way, the democrats will approve it. because they know if they don't the republicans will pass whatever they want and obama will have to eat it. >> sean: how often do i quote "the new york times"? never, right. health care law ruled unconstitutional. >> that's pretty good. we predicted this eileen and i in our book 2010, take back america that it would be declared unconstitutional. the idea of the individual mandate -- is based on the interstate commerce clause. it is not interstate because you can't sell health insurance because you cancel health insurance interstate and it is not commerce. no way that was going to be upheld. i believe it will be thrown out. i think you will see one bay one, every one of the things

obama did dismantled. republicans gonna roll back stimulus spending. defund obamacare. courts will throw it out. cap and trade will be banned because by epa being banned from doing that. card check will be banned. financial reform will be changed. one after another they will all be changed. and this guy isn't going to stand for anything. >> sean: stinging rebuke buy henry hudson the judge in this case. that in a few minutes. last question, 2012, is there any one, two or three people that you see emerging as the likely front-runners, in your mind? >> no, it is way too early. the important thing to bear in mind is there are a lot of people with negatives on romney because of health care. palin, gingrich and huckabee, they are all the same thing. they are all well liked. well-known. staunch, good conservatives. but have baggage of one or another. voters in the republican primary are afraid to nominate

them. they are saying if i nominate one of these three, i love 'em, i would love if they won, but they can't because of the bag grand jury. the question is, over the next year can one or more live down the baggage? frankly, sarah palin is doing a good job of it lately. and huckabee is on every week living it done. beginning rich may get vol -- gingrich may get in involved with the fight in congress. 15, 20 people who will come on this show and the other shows on fox and we'll fall in love with one. it will be like "american idol" >> sean: dick morris thanks for being with us. plenty more hannity, straight ahead. >> this deal is giving democrats some pause. >> sean: the future of the tax bill hangs in the balance. democrats vent their frustrations. >> federal judge deals obamacare a major blow.

>> sean: tomorrow all eyes will be on the u.s. senate as a final vote is likely to take place on president obama's tax cut deal. even if the measure passes waiting in the wins are very unhappy members of the house of representatives.

unlike the senate, opposition in the house appears to be growing. 54 house democrats have sent a letter to the san francisco speaker opposing the framework. calling it fiscally irresponsible and grossly unfair. this morning house majority leader hoyer described the unease his party feeling over this so-called compromise. >> this deal, is giving democrats some pause. having said that, i believe action is necessary and compromise was inevitable. there are a lot of things in this bill that we want to see passed. we are obviously having an argument about some other aspects of the bill. >> sean: that's just the left. republicans are not so happy about the so-called compromise either. for good reason. tonight i'm happy to be joined in studio by one of them, congressman steve king of iowa is here. good to see you in new york, how are you? >> thank you sean, good to be here. >> sean: i was on the radio

today talking about this. reading from the ap article, about the ethanol subsidies, 55 million dollars in the senate version. i got a note from mcconnell's office saying that is not in there. is it in there or not? >> i don't have any way of telling. i'm going to suspect it is in there. but i've not read the language. we'll have to see if that is in. we've got the extension of these brackets, all for two years. i say that's not enough. if your investment capital and you've got a two year investment on business plan you've already invested that money. otherwise most are five, 10, more likely 15 year returns. i want to see this permanent. i want to play the best cards we can. >> sean: is that your biggest argument . business can decide where to go with a temporary economy? is that your biggest argument? my biggest concern, i'll take this because obama said, he's gonna run on this and axelrod confirmed this. this is going to be his issue in 2012.

that may be a healthy debate for the country. they want to raise taxes and the republican party conservative movement wants to keep the tax base low. my concern is the 200 billion dollars in new spending. >> we have that. we have the transfer payments in part of that. the unemployment the 56 billion dollars. we've had unemployment 26 weeks now 99 pelosi. most of the people will get a job by the time unemployment out. 40 billion dollars refund tax credits that guess to people who aren't paying tax. almost 100 billion dollars there if you add that piece. >> sean: statistics show when people know their unemployment is running out, they run out and get a job? >> that's what happened. 15 weeks of unemployment they will spend 20 minutes a day as unemployment guess to 26 weeks when it runs out, they spend 70 minutes a day. >> sean: we have two extensions. you can go for about two years now, correct me if i'm wrong

this will extend it out to a third year. >> this is 99 cumulatively then rolls for the next group. that's another argument we ought to have this language that seems to be movable in the senate we need 72 hours to read the bill. that's something that we -- >> sean: i think -- that's standard operating procedure. we've been down this road before. you have to pass the bill to know what's in the bill. that's nancy pelosi's house. even though it is a lame duck and she is still speaker, i don't think it is fair for the american people. what do we know in terms of 54 democrats writing this letter to pelosi. what do the numbers show are the democrats going to kill this? >> i would think all the democrats that oppose this negotiated settlement between mcconnell and president obama didn't sign the letter. i think that number is larger than 50 four. to get that many signatures is difficult to do.

-- if they are putting christmas tree ornaments on this bill in the senate as we are confident they have. and it goes to the house side if that's enough ornaments to buy more progressives, they are going to lose more conservatives on the republican side. >> sean: maybe this is very naive in terms of the workings of washington. why can't we have a straight up or down vote on simple issues? should we extend unemployment? straight up or down vote. do we raise taxes the end of the year? straight up or down vote. do we eliminate the estate tax? i know that's not the way washington works. people like myself watch the way the process works. you have to buy votes the moral equivalency of blackmail or bribery would be a better word. why can't we have straight up or down votes on these things? >> i'm hopeful unspeaker boehner these things will happen. nice, clear stand alone pieces of legislation can come along. my preference would be to take

all tax brackets that expire midnight december 31st, and set them up and make them all permanent as they are. i'll vote for something like that. >> sean: what if this is not done by the end of the year? new congress sworn in january 5th. the issue could be taken up, it could be made retroactive going back to the start of the year. would it be better to wait until then? rather than take a bill spending you don't want and things you don't want in the bill, would it be better to wait? >> it is better for extending all tax s. the problem i have is a moral conundrum. if you see estate taxes kick in and go from zero estate tax now to a million dollar exemption in a 35% bracket or what is really hanging out there -- [ talking over each other ] >> what happens is one million dollar exemption at 55% if that rolls obvious the first of the year, there will be thousands of families around a death bed making end of life

decisions instead of their priest and pastor and doctor, the tax man looms over that bed. >> sean: if you died last year if i'm wrong, 45%. this year, 0%. next year 55%. only washington could think of this. >> some will decide they don't want treatment. others will -- >> sean: do you think people will decide not to have treatment the end of the year and die so they don't have to pay taxes? >> absolutely. i hear those anecdotes now. that's the combo innocent of this tax discussion that bothers me the most what happens with the estate tax and the moral decisions that people have to make? >> sean: why do i think i will be seeing a lot of you in the next two years? >> because we are going to repeal obamacare and pull it out by the radio . s -- out by the roots. >> sean: i was thinking more of a presidential election. plenty more hannity, straight ahead a virginia judge strikes

>> sean: obamacare is unconstitutional, at least within key provision according to a judge's ruling. judge hudson in virginia phone the law's mandate requiring citizens to pay health coverage or pays a fine says

it goes too far. today condition cuccinelli reacted to the ruling. >> by the end of january i expect you will see for the first time in my knowledge, over half of the state's of the united states of america, as parties to a lawsuit the federal government. to rein in their overstepping the boundaries of the constitution. >> sean: newt gingrich said the ruling further proves need for repeal and evidence that the health reform law is unraveling. the white house responded by saying: >> challenges like this are nothing new in terms of laws that have come before the courts in the past, which -- in which our position has prevailed. we're confident that it is constitutional. and frankly of the three courts that have rendered decisions on this question, two have ruled in our favor.

>> sean: the administration will likely appeal the ruling. it is widely expected the case will go before the u.s. supreme court. the decision comes as a big blow to the president and his fellow democrats. exciting victory for opponents of health care with potential far-reaching impact on future i am machine . does this ruling pave the way to permanently undo universal obamacare? author of uncle sam's plantation star parker and doug schoen. let's go to the "new york times", i love to quote them. health care law ruled unconstitutional. >> this is a problem for the president for the democrats. it creates momentum and validation of the republican position. and will embolden republicans who try to repeal the measure but also try to block its implementation in the states and in washington. >> sean: henry hudson's

writings were phenomenal. not a long ruling, 45 pages or so. he first says the obamacare mandate exceeds the commerce clause powers vested in congress under article i. he rejected the administration's argument this was permissible under taxation authority noting the administration had publicly disputed, this was their argument during the campaign for this. it is not a tax. congress rejected that argument when passing the bill. instead he found it to be a penalty the point is, they can't have it both ways. they say it is not a tax, it is. they say it is not exactly a tax. >> it is a tax we all know it. to penalize american people for not buying a product this is absurd, of course it is unconstitutional. it has to go through the courts and let them know we are serious about not being forced to buy a product we

done want this is a blow to the obama administration. >> sean: the judge predicted this would go to higher courts. he also gave an admission to the obama administration saying -- gave an admonition to the obama administration saying this ruling is now what stands. >> you can't provide people with preexisting conditions much more problematic. denying people health care with preexisting conditions only works as a rubric if everybody is buying a policy. if they don't have to the deal falls apart it becomes extraordinarily expensive for the individuals who buy policies because insurance companies raise rates. >> we have to get back to earlier discussions. when we started this discussion three years ago, two years ago, it was about the uninsured. nobody in this country does not get seen. if you have a preexisting condition and you go to the hospital they are not going to turn you away the question is, do we force people to buy insurance so they can make

sure they have the coverage ahead of time? it is unconstitutional. >> sean: what's the political fall out? >> it hurts the president. the pub for repeal gets emboldened. it probably doesn't succeed because of the senate. but makes those who block funding of implementation of the bill more likely to be successful in the individual states it is gonna embolden republicans. >> and the states are already having trouble. the states are already having their on lawsuits because they do not want this -- [ talking over each other ] >> sean: when you couple this with you know the battle over the tax issue, you know it seems the republicans have this president cornered. i don't think this president has had a good day this year. >> he hadn't had a good day since he was elected and started to force the american people to do something they don't want to do. on november 2nd, after that
