do you trust justice john roberts to call balls and strikes? text "a" for yes. text "b" for no. we'll bring you the results later tonight. we bring in congressman dean mcdermott. what did the supreme court say today and how do you think things went? >> well i went in pretty optimistic because i have never seen this case as one that had any real legitimacy. the question of the judges was probative. they were poking at both the plaintiff and the defense by the government. but basically it was clear that they were not convinced that this was a legitimate attack on obamacare. >> so you came away with the sense that these 7.5 million americans don't have anything to worry about. >> you can never quite say that ed. i'm not a lawyer but from being a doctor and a psychiatrist and watching people for a long time i would say that the vote is going to be there, 5-4 or 6-3. i think it will be in favor of obamacare being continued. the idea that john roberts would want his legacy to be "i threw 7 million people out of health care" is not the kind of thing that makes good sense. you think abo

chief justice john roberts and anthony kennedy, will same-sex marriage be a right in this country? mitch mcconnell or speaker boehner or the tea party or president obama. ask the supreme court deciders, roberts and kennedy, because when you want to know what the lauf of the land is, it's roberts and kennedy. they know, because these two people are the pair who will decide the issues. that's "hardball" for now. "all in with chris hayes" starts right now. >>> tonight on "all in" -- >> some of those protesters -- >> the justice of report on ferguson is out. >> it's time for ferguson's leaders to take immediate, wholesale, constructual action. >> inside the federal government's jaw-dropping finding of systematic discrimination in an american city. >>> then, it's like 1998 all over again. the latest on the clinton e-mail mess. >>> plus, it's like 2000 all over again. >> it does appear to be a 5-4 opinion. >> why today's supreme court obamacare arguments could be the most important since bush v. gore. and it's like 2003 all over

the likely deciding votes in this case will be the chief justice, john roberts and anthony kennedy who roberts said almost nothing today during the hour and a half arguments here. he did not pepper the government's lawyers with questions as he did three years ago when the obamacare case was here in its infancy, so we can't really read anything into that. i don't know whether it means he has made up his mind thinks his conservative colleagues don't need persuading from him on the bench or what. the second thing justice kennedy said if you read the language of the law, it seems to be what the challengers say, that you only get the federal subsidy if you're buying insurance on the state exchange. but he also said that if you read it that way, it might be unconstitutional coercing states to set up their own exchanges so they don't leave their people without this federal subsidy. so let's remember what's at stake here health insurance for probably some 8 million people because the government argues without the federal subsidy, those people low and moderate income people would not be able to

first, we have no idea where john roberts the chief justice stands on this.tions were completely unrevealing of his inclinations. second, the four democratic nominees to the court have all made up their mind. we're defending -- we're aggressively defending the administration's position and with we're making arguments that the administration itself was not making arguments that have been made in various press commentaries. and third, we learned that one of those arguments, an argument involving federalism, the relationship between the federal government and the states, have some appeal to justice kennedy who's the second potential swing justice here. although it's an argument that cuts both ways. the liberals want to argue that it means they have to accept the administration's interpretation of the law, but i think it could also point the way for another constitutional challenge to obamacare. >> okay. joe rago two questions. number one, what does it mean if the subsidies are struck down and "b," do the republicans have a plan if the subsidies are struck down?

king i am john robert lewis. i gave my whole name.e started calling me the boy from troy. >> jon: what an amazing experience. how great a writer must you have been to sen this man a letter that he thought we have to get this guy over to the office. >> he saw something in me. maybe he saw something in my handwriting. >> jon: i think he felt the passion. so this is an image we are have from that-- fateful day in selma. that is you at the front i believe, is that dr. king right next to you? you can see that image? can you see that? >> the young man walking beside me was on dr. king's staff. jose williams. the two of us were leading the march on that day, march 7th 1965. >> stephen: and-- . >> jon: and that's on the bridge. here's the next image. this is you just crossed the bridge and this is i guess is this -- >> this is alabama state troopers. and we get to this point the state trooper speaks up and says this is an unlawful march. you will not be allowed to continue. i give you three minutes to disperse and return to your homes or to y

chief justice john roberts didn't show his hand. obama administration said it has no contingency plan if it loses this case and charlie that will put the pressure on congress and the state legislatures to try to fix it. >> rose: indeed, thanks, jan. a potentially deadly superbug linked to contaminated medical devices turned up in california. four patients were infected with c.r.e., and 64 others may have been exposed. a similar outbreak at ronald reagan ucla medical center is linked to two deaths. in a moment, celebrating the centennial of the chairman of the board. alright, so this tylenol arthritis lasts 8 hours but aleve can last 12 hours. and aleve is proven to work better on pain than tylenol arthritis. so why am i still thinking about this? how are ya? good. aleve. proven better on pain. the garden is the story of our lives... told and retold. it's as old as our time on earth. and as new as tomorrow. you can have a yard. or slightly less. gardening isn't about where we choose to live. it's about how we choose to live. miracle-

it could come down to anthony kennedy or john roberts.ion needs one of them to join the court for liberals. the justice department says police officers routinely targeted blacks in ferguson, missouri. eric holder described the findings. >> our findings indicated that the overwhelming majority of force -- 90% directed at african-americans. this deeply alarming statistic points to one of the most pernicious aspects. these policing practices disproportionately harm african-american residents. >> the killing of an unarmed black teenager over the summer setup up weeks of violence and unrest. sales of the playstation for recent -- reached new highs making it the fastest selling videogame console in the company's history. outpacing rivals like nintendo and microsoft. causal makers are facing more competition these days from free smartphone-based video games. the nation's largest public system has added to muslim holy days to the calendar. one is the end of ramadan and the other is the mecca pilgrimage. all students will now get those days off. >

chief justice john roberts and anthony kennedy were unclear. a house committee has subpoenaed former secretary of state hillary clinton's emails on libya. she used her own e-mails instead of the government server. the transmitter received was traced back to her internet service from her home. clinton already disclosed more than 300 e-mails from her personal account. the use of personal e-mails was not against state department policy or law while she was in office. it's beautiful here on the east coast, but if you are bracing for another round of winter weather, you are probably on the east coast. 3,000 flights have been canceled as snowfall approaches the eastern seaboard. new york city expects 4 to 5 inches tomorrow. they are expecting snow and freezing rain in dallas. the next startup may join the $1 billion evaluation process. they say warby parker has not held a formal funding process but with investor interest, it could change their minds. not to the lead -- etsy, the largest market for handmade crafts, has filed to go public. they have a

expected in june and the two justices we will watch closely is just uponis anthony kennedy and john roberts. he was the crucial vote that kept obamacare alive. the question was raised about the individual mandate. >> a lot of people watching today. the bottom line, how much are the subsidyies worth and how many americans will be affected? >> the numbers on that are rough tough. you have eight million people who lose health insurance as a result of those numbers, but it changes the whole model if you take young healthy people out of the system who get the subsidies. insurance may go up for everyone else. >> the trickle down effect. to you doug. >> is howard university setting the bar too low? the new incentive program is creating a buzz. the schools will pay for half of the students's final semester if they graduate on time. that is a $6000 savings and more if the student graduates early. >> think before you snap a selfie. the smithsonian is banning selfie sticks. it is meant to protect displays and serve as a precaution when the museum is crowded. it's just the latest in a string of museums
