i want to begin, i want to go back to ken cuccinelli on something. ken, if congress can tax us, in this way, is there anything for which we cannot be taxed? >> i'm sure the answer to that is, there is something but, sitting here, given the incredible breadth the chief justice put on the tax definition under the constitution, it is hard for me to conceive immediately of what that might be. along the lines of scott's comment, one of the things i might have thought was, it couldn't be an excise tax on doing nothing. they've supplied excise taxes to work before, for instance, for social security. but, for doing nothing, the failure to do something, this is, itself, brand new and it is part of why the chief justice has expanded the taxing power to a point never imagined by the founders in his opinion here. and, it is very unfortunate, it could cause a serious problem in the future, but i will point out, the one power that congressman and senators are most afraid of voting on is the tax power. >> governor huckabee: because the political ramifications... >>

governor romney is that person, says romney surrogate ken cuccinelli. government romney is that person. how exactly will governor romney treat his bundlers different than president obama treats his bundlers? well, governor romney promises not to tell us who his bundlers are. oh, so president obama discloses the names of people who bundle big fundraising donations to him. mitt romney is pledging to keep the names of his secret. but his big attempted political pivot this week is to make president obama seem like he's the one that's a little shady about his donors, the donors president obama discloses publicly and mitt romney keeps secret. oh, republicans love justin bieber's electric car, and somehow that means communism, foreign, or what not. this is a mess, and if that is not a big enough mess, there's also buzzfeed reporting this week of the 17 political appointees announced by governor romney in 2006, of the 17 political appointees he announced that year, 15 were campaign donors to him. 15 of the 17, now he and his campaign are egging on the national

here to tell us is virginia attorney general ken cuccinelli. good to see you, mr.> good morning. >> what is the silver lining of the supreme court decision that the mandate lives on as a tax? >> yeah, obviously, this was a bad loss on thursday, but the way the chief justice did it by blowing the doors off the tax power, he expanded it extraordinarily. which was a shock. nobody expected this particular outcome. no judge anywhere in the federal system had done anything like this. he stands pretty much alone and i think that speaks to, frankly, what a bad decision it is, but the silver lining is that because it's a tax bill now and that from the supreme court, instead of an ordinary bill, it can only -- it can be repealed with only 50 senators instead of 60. and normally you've got to overcome that senate filibuster, now if you've got 50 and a vice-president it can be beaten and mitt romney has been talking a lot about repealing the bill and that's great for the president, you need someone in the presidency willing to do that, but you've still got to get them a bill.
