the two sides both oppose the tax designation, the court appointed a washington private attorney, robert long, to argue in favor. >> why is this a tax? and i know you point to certain sentences that talk about taxes within the code. and this is not a... attached to a tax. this is attached to a health care requirement. why does it fall within that word? >> well, i mean, the first point is our initial submission is you don't have to determine that this is a tax in order to find that the anti-injunction act applies because congress very specifically said that it shall be assessed and collected in the same manner as a tax. even if it's a tax penalty and not a tax. that's one argument. >> that doesn't mean the a.i.a.applies. >> reporter: the hearings have set the stage for a new round of debate in the court of public opinion. >> this is a teaching moment. >> reporter: supporters like ron pollack of families usa kicked off a three-day blitz by bringing doctors and nurses to the steps of the court. >> two-and-a-half million young adults are receiving coverage through their parents as a result of the

since the individual mandate doesn't take effect for two years, lawyer robert long told the justices they should wait to decide this issue. they could take it up after someone pays a fine and sues the government claiming its unconstitutional. >> there is no reason to think that congress made a special exception for the penalty imposed. >> reporter: but justice antonin scalia said any limits on a courts ability to consider a case like this should be narrow and clear. >> and i find it hard to think this is clear. whatever else it is, it's easy to think that it's not clear. >> reporter: the debate today hinged on whether congress is taxing people who do not buy health insurance or whether congress is slapping a penalty on people without health insurance. if it's a penalty, justice ruth bader ginsberg argued there was no legal reason the court could not decide this case now. >> this is not a revenue raising measure because if it's successful, there will-- nobody will pay the penalty and there will be no revenue to raise. >> reporter: but chief justice john roberts said the point of the l

the law referred to as robert long, appointed by the supreme court itself to argue that the challenges to the health care law are premature, representing all those with that point of view because the law known as the anti-injunction act prevents the court taking up the challenge until the individual mandate goes into effect. we have word that mr. long has decided not to come before the microphones in front of the supreme court. and also donald, the solicitor general will not be before the cameras and the supreme court so we heard from just one, gregory katsas. that vehicle is rick santorum, republican presidential candidate who is arriving at the supreme court. to be involved with the process there as we're watching. we're going to listen next to charleston, south carolina, adam is an independent. >> yes. i was wondering if i chose not to buy health care the next few years what would my penalty be, the amount of money i would owe to the federal government? for not buying health care insurance. >> thanks so much. we're not answering particulars about the law as it stands but there's lot

next up is robert in long island. hi, robert. >> caller: hi. actually, the first part of the argument seemed the most relevant. which was the question about the overreach of the congress and precisely what their limitations are. and justice scalia's example of broccoli for the sake of their health. i thought a more general question would have been the question of since overpopulation has become such a major issue around the world and from some segments of this country, i wonder if congress would have the authority to pass a contraception, a forced contraception act and based on the fact that overpop lag is costing us generally and medically specifically. and by suggesting that contraception must be used. i wonder if that's something both liberals and conservatives would be able to agree on. of course, i ask somewhat facetiously. when it comes to contraception where the divide so great, here would be an opportunity for the congress to be able to pass something that would perhaps fall in line with liberal thinking as to their authority, and yet,

they had to get robert long from covington to hear in d.c. to argue the side that would say that no, this is a tax and if you have a tax then it's not up for judicial review. the courts cannot consider it until somebody actually has to pay the tax. and the issue there is that the government doesn't want to have 500 courts, 500 judges all around the country considering a tax when it imposes a new one. that should be up to just one judge at some point to consider and so that they can have some kind of orderly stream of revenue. and so the antiinjunction act, which was passed in 1867 after the civil war says that you need to first pay the tax and then litigate. pay the tax, appeal to the secretary of the treasury to get your money back, and then go to court after you pay. >> okay, that's good understanding there of the law. thank you so much. there seems to be skepticism and we will be moving ahead tomorrow. >>> a lot of folks waited in line all night to witness today's historic argument inside the supreme court. and kristen fisher joins us live

. >> john mcdonough, what exactly is attorney robert long opposing about the affordable care act?e is not opposing or supporting it, but singers and 1867 law, the anti-injunction act and a key part says you cannot sue to prevent the collection of a tax until the tax has actually got into a fact and people are paying it. i happen to think based upon my reading -- and i am not an attorney -- that there's a very strong case that the anti- injunction act prevails. i think the justices on both sides, though, the ecological spectrum, want to decide this and that was clear from the questioning yesterday. i think the anti-injunction act is going to be moved to the back of the room or in a closet and of the justices and up in some kind of a significant that law, then they might, if they cannot resolve it, pull the anti- injunction act out of the closet and use it. otherwise, i think they will do what they can to try to make more definitive ruling by june. >> professor, you occupy an interesting position. you were killed but romneycare, the health care act and massachusetts that has become

you mentioned they had appointed this attorney, robert long. they gave him 40 minutes of time, extended the argument. his only task was to come in and defend the point that the case is not ripe. despite his best efforts, the justices seem unconvinced. >> greta: do you mean that what the consideration was is that you can't sue now? the states can't sue now, they've got to wait until they actually make the payments, make all their financial investments and then they come in and sue? when you say it's not ripe, it's too early? >> right. this law says you can't have a lawsuit or maintain an action against a tax that has yet to be collected, so critics say mandate doesn't kick in until 2014. somebody wouldn't have to then pay the tax penalty assessed from that until 2015. they couldn't come back to court until that point to argue the case, and so it makes a lot of folks nervous on both sides of the arguments that the justices could say we'll wait three or four years to decide the case. it's possible. >> greta: the states didn't want this at all. the

knows exactly how they picked, but they tend to pick attorneys to have a stellar reputation, like robert longho argued the first day a position nobody wanted to argue. so, there really go out and just get people who they have seen argue before them regularly, and who they trust will do an excellent job, and i am sure there will be an excellent job in this case. host: "the washington post" has interviewed a gentleman who was been in this case before. he did not hesitate when he got called. he was a law professor at the university of kansas. in this case he is representing a position that the court has as them to take. he says "i empathize with the gentleman taking this position this week because there may have been a moment or two when the judges were asking questions, not by the argument i was making, but i wanted to say you asked me to make these arguments." guest: it is a strange position. you do not have a client. how will they go out to lunch with? the court is essentially his client. the fact they want to hear his argument does not mean they agree. mr. long, for example, did not appear a
