arguments. here's some of the possibilities. the entire law could be uphill or struck down. or the justices could rule against part of it. one area that's possible is the so-called individual mandate, which requires most many earns to get insurance or face penalties. it could invalidate the expansion of the medical rule to the poor. the timing could be no more important as it comes four months from the presidential election. the white house has had a quiet confidence that the law would be upheld. but if the ruling goes against the president, it would surely set off fierce scrambling over the reaction. not to mention, john, some likely damage control. >> all right. tahman bradley in washington. thank you. turning overseas to egypt where democracy is in action right now. there's a new president-elect. he's mohammed morsi, the candidate backed by the muslim brotherhood. morsi's main problem is egypt's
