elections than the democrats right now. >> and a lot of the polls say most americans support repealing the obama administration's health care. yet people like some of the individual points that are in it even mitt romney talked about his replacement plan would include some of the more positive points. but then the question is how would he pay for it. >> reporter: exactly. and if you go and listen back to the statement yesterday at the white house by the president, you can see how he seguewayed and taken off a list of provisions that democrats argue was popular and they are counter argument is if you elect republicans, they might take away this and take away that and take away this provision and keep your kids on 26 years old or take away the doughnut hold or prescription drugs for seniors. so there's a whole host of things both sides have you know i think both of them arguing that they can benefit from this in november. we will see. one thing i've been geeing a lot of e-mails and messages-- getting a lot of e-mails and messages is because the supreme

court ruled yesterday that individual mandate is actually a tax, that it shouldn't have been constitutional and never should have gotten out of the congress because the provision actually originated over in the senate. i put up a piece on my blog that you can find and shoots that down and sounds convenient sounds easy enough but it doesn't hold any political water right now. >> all right talk a little bit about john roberts? i think he was the surprise in yesterday's ruling. the fact that as one analyst said he took a walk over to the liberal side. why do you think he did that? >> reporter: well, you know, there's been a lot of vilification of the chief justice the citizens unite and more but if you look at this week he led the court on majority strike down most arizona immigration law, and then he side with liberals. why? no one knows only he knows and his clerks know. but certainly, it's a reminder that sometimes you cannot just say because this judge justice

was appointed by a republican or democrat that's where they are going to end up. there's some currency of thought and i am not a lawyer or legal expert but some people say the move by the chief justice to very definitively say in the ruling that you cannot use the commerce clause for the individual mandate that may actually shut off efforts by future administrations on the democratic side to do things like that. so, we will have to see how it plays out. in the end i. think what the message from the chief justice is was just because the you don't like a law doesn't mean it's unconstitutional. >> and he as he said in the hearings he's there to call the strikes and the balls. >> reporter: exactly. and there are a lot of democrats who threw that back in his face in the last couple years and accused him of leading the court way off to the conservative right. and saying he was becoming judicialally activist. but you look at some of the decisions this week on the arizona law and on the obama health law, i am not sure those

arguments really hold water at this point in time. but certainly we will hear them again. >> absolutely. still fascinating to follow and talk about. this thanks jamie joining us live from washington. you can find a link to his washington insider blog on the website about go to ktvu.com pull down the news menu bar and go to politics page. 7:49. at&t promising residents in the sierra foothills phone and internet service will be back up and running. 47,000 customers lost cell phone internet and land line service red. 911 service was knocked out too. at&t says a car crashed into a pole and utility crews accidentally cut at&t's fiber on the aic line. again, they say they hope to restore that service soon. san francisco is leading california in several deadly statistics. according to the state on traffic safety san francisco county ranks number 1 among california 58 counties for

new this morning, a bond hearing in florida for george zimmerman is in the second hour. zimmerman is the florida neighborhood watch volunteer charged with second degree murder in the trayvon martin shooting. our reporter phil keeting joins us live from sanford florida to tell us what's happened so far phil. >> reporter: hi, kenneth lester the judge allowing george zimmerman to go ahead and wear civilian clothes and no shackels for this bond hearing. and so, he is wearing a bulletproof vest in the courtroom. and so are the parents of trayvon martin. the 17-year-old unarmed person that he killed when he was acting as a neighborhood watch captain and thought he was suspicious and we have seen the video. they had a altercation and a fight. george zimmerman suffered injuries and defense attorney showing video that reenactment videotape the day after the fatal shooting in february for the court to see showing the

banneddages on the nose which according to zimmerman and paramedic was broken as well aslaceration to the back of the head. trying to persuade the judge here that this was really an act of self-defense in hopes of getting a low bond amount. the whole reason we are here is that george zimmerman is having this second bond hearing that the first one was revoked after the judge determined that shelly zimmerman his wife when she testified at the april bond hearing deceived the court about the finances the couple had available to them. both and george zimmerman didn't speak up to correct any statements by his wife even though bank records provide by state prosecutors show that the couple had access to about 130,000 dollars from the zimmerman legal defense fund that was set up on his website thanks to donors from around the country who submitted donations to him at that time. so, the judge has yet to make the ruling. it could come down maybe in the

next 10 or 15 minutes. this one last witness being called by defense attorney mark omayora if it's 150,000 dollar like the first time around, then most likely zimmerman will be able to post that bond. and once again, go back out into hiding being monitored on gps ankle bracelet. but prosecutors are again asking for a $1 million bond or no bond at all, and so it's going to be interesting to see how high the bond will be set this time around. that certainly would indicate to the public how the judge really feels about that april 20th bond hearing financial deception. back to you. >> all right. >> phil keating. thanks phil. time is 8:37. let's check in with sal and see what's happening on the roads. how is the bay bridge looking. >> reporter: it's been light. well, maybe not so uncharacteristic as we approach the 4th of july holiday but it's been nice and light. there's a little bit of a

backup here. this is the biggest backup we have had all morning long. so if you are trying to a get into san francisco right now there's a little backup. nothing major. and by the way the day game there's no day game it's a night game at at&t park. tomorrow is a day game. let's look at san mateo bridge. the traffic is good heading out to the high rise and no problems on the peninsula 101 or 280 driving up and down. and morning commute speaking of the peninsula a power outage in south san francisco. about 1300 customers. if you come across traffic lights not working, make sure to treat it as a four-way stop. now steve. a few breaks in the low clouds but plenty of clouds to go around probably maxing out tonight and tomorrow and more sunshine. but a cooler breezy next couple days. all because of that system right there working its way and we had drizzle this morning and i think there will be more tonight and tomorrow and you need warm temperatures inland and a little inversion and warm air aloft and that gets wiped

out in the next 24 hours. the fog bank was shallow yesterday. well, no problem lifting today because of the front coming in. and you can see there it is now. breaks in it and areas have the sun. but pretty good west southwest wind up to 25 at travis, west 14 at sfo. delays with low ceilings of over an hour. came across twitter on flight advisory. 50s and 60s temperatures really haven't gone far due to the cloud cover but we are seeing that burn off and the wind picks up so it will be a sunny breezy day and low cloud deck hangs on longer. warm temps from yesterday trying to hold on but western edge is getting brushed aside as the system moves in and that means low clouds and westerly breeze and the cooling trend continues especially for those away from the coast about 4 to 8 degrees cooler. 60s and 70s for almost everybody except for few low 80s but it will be a good breeze behind that as well. so 60s by the bay. 70s inland and santa clara valley temperatures down on the coast. 50s and 60s a warm week santa cruz but not today. the city 60, 73 menlo park.
