mr. roberts, proposes amendment numbered 1826. mr. roberts: madam president, i ask that the reading of the amendment be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. roberts: madam president, i rise today to ask for support for my amendment to promote progrowth energy and tax policy, especially consistency for the remainder of this year. my amendment addresses a significant tax policy concern. within the tax code there is a long list of provisions simply known as tax extenders. now, some might ask why i'm offering an amendment on tax extenders to a bill dealing with the federal highway program. well, in a nutshell, here's why: these provisions are used by millions of families, individuals, and business taxpayers, but these provisions expired over two months ago, cause uing utter chaos in regars to -- well, it caused the lawyer full employment act. the base of this amendment includes most but not all of the expired energy tax incentives addressed in the amendment offered by my friend on the other side of the aisle. it's

chief justice roberts: we will hear argument this morning in case number 11-398, department of health and human services v. florida. mr. long. oral argument of robert a. long on behalf of the court- appointed amicus curiae mr. long: mr. chief justice, and may it please the court: the anti-injunction act imposes a pay first, litigate later rule that is central to federal tax assessment and collection. the act applies to essentially every tax penalty in the internal revenue code. there is no reason to think that congress made a special exception for the penalty imposed by section 5000a. on the contrary, there are three reasons to conclude that the anti-injunction act applies here. first, congress directed that the section 5000a penalty shall be assessed and collected in the same manner as taxes. second, congress provided that penalties are included in taxes for assessment purposes. and third, the section 5000a penalty bears the key indicia of a tax. congress directed that the section 5000a penalty shall be assessed and collected in the same manner as taxes. that derivative triggers the anti- injunction act which provide

mr. zimmerman arrested. you want him charged. but do you know the full circumstances, do you leave open the possibility as robert zimmerman talks about the story that his son told him about what happened that night, but maybe there are factors you don't understand, not having been there? >> that's always a possibility, mr. hannity. however, in this situation, we have several things we know to be true. we have a 911 tape where he says he's following the young man. he is suspicious for no reason. the operator tells him not to get out of his car. he gets out of his car. he is chasing him. we hear him breathing very hard. he engages trayvon. now we know, as late as today that we have a witness who was an eyeball witness who saw mr. zimmerman on top and saw him shoot trayvon on the bottom. and we have mr. zimmerman saying, yes, i did shoot him. now, whether or not he is guilty or not is not the issue when it comes to arresting someone. he should be arrested. and a court of law decide whether or not he's guilty or innocent. >> sean: i understand that. but we also had a witness that was there and available that first night and he has a very
