now for the political impact of this decision, get our very own melissa harris perry, the host of melissaarris-perry, the show weekend mornings on msnbc, to weigh in on this as we just heard from david gregory talking to chris jansing, the fact this hasn't taken effect, so there iç still a priority on the right to have this repealed. >> there is the issue of the american people and how the american people feel about it but two other really important things we have to remember. one, mitt romney is on the record supporting an individual mandate. looking just this morning at his 2006 language, march 6 of 2006, where he says that he was very pleased to see an individual manda mandate included in the massachusetts bill. he calls it a personal responsibility principle. if he decides to run against the court or president obama fundamentally on individual mandate, they are going to play this over and over and over again. the second thing is, look stlarngs incentive for insurance companies here, now this is a constitutionally accurate policy, valid policy, an insurance company, you have an incenti

sean, always good to have you with us. >> thank you, melissa.e way it was "a" to bbb-plus. >> yes, of course it was being a downgrade and all. i want to get your take on the coordinated central bank action, sean. i wonder if you believe that is the case and if that does happen if it would change your outlook on sovereign ratings. >> we expect the central governments, central banks will react. the real canary in the coal mine, so to speak, is the funding for spain. the ten-year has gapped out to about 6.9%. it's up about 100 basis points over the past couple weeks. and that's probably the thing you have to worry about most. and in the case of france, if you look at the growth in the debt versus the gdp it's surprising and it's resulted in a fairly high debt to gdp. >> hey, sean, it's tim. how about, though, in france, the cost of funding for the french banks and knock-on effects? because last year we were -- there was certainly plenty of rumors going around about the solvency of the two largest banks in france. we know who they are. so are you mo

melissa harris-perry, host of "melissa harris-perry" and chris haynes host of "up with chris haynes."thank you very joining me tonight. >> always a pleasure. >> chris, let me start with you. the choice to me seems clear. how can republicans justify putting politics ahead of people? >> well, i think it's -- melissa can probably speak to the historical resonances of a senator from louisiana saying essentially urging essentially that governors in the states nullify a federal law. essentially refuse to implement it. to me what's been so crystal clear about this week is at the end of the day, there are two political coalitions. an interest in covering people with health insurance and one who does not. those are the stark facts. there is one political coalition ja that does not -- explicitly they say themselves does not care about that as an objective. that's a stark difference. >> melissa, people talking about dr. king's famous i have a dream speech. in it he talks about governors whose lips drip with the words of nullification. opposing their will, nullifying federal law. we just had the

>> you can expect further pain at this point, melissa. we're still in the matter of a correction where we got oil prices up to a stupid level back at end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012 on fears of supply. market was focused on the potential disruption of supply. since then, we have plenty of supply getting to the market. not just in the middle east, but more importantly here in the united states. a lot of oil that was trapped in the mid-continent last year is getting its way down to the gulf of mexico where it needs to be. it's also getting to the u.s. east coast, where it needs to be. so the market is taking its focus off of supply concerns. now with what we are seeing coming out of china, europe, united states, we are in a massive correction lower because now the fear is not about supply, do we have enough supply. the situation now is, do we have enough demand? given this sell off, the market stand now is we have too much supply, not enough demand, and we are now in a massive correction. i still think we have at least another five, m

melissa millay is live with more. >> it was on a flatbed and shrouded with secrecy. many who spotted it hit twitter and are having fun with all kinds of thoughts and theories. the question is what is that? a plane? a large drone? the military aircraft is big, all right, 82 feet long, 32 feet wide and 14 feet high. the move started around 6:00 p.m. out of garrett county. it drove down 270 and around the beltway. maryland state police were not told what it was, just that they need at least eight patrol cars to escort it to the patuxent air river naval air station. it looks similar to one that passed through kansas last year. that looked like a northrop grumman drone used overseas right now. the twitter comments this morning are pretty funny, i have to say. one of my favorites posted late last night says "if this is really aliens, that means i'm off work tomorrow." but eun, here we are, so i'm thinking maybe not. >> yeah. maybe some more checking, though. all right, melissa, thank you. >> okay. >>> some high-profile help today for former virginia governor george allen i
