a big day for the roberts' court. by the end of the session if the court does what most people expects it to do, if they say same-sex marriage is a legal national right, imagine this is not just a legacy for the obama administration and for the roberts' court but for george w. bush. george w. bush appointed this man to the courts and then appointed him to be chief justice. it was not that long ago, just 11 years ago, george w. bush won a close re-election in 2004 closing with what issue? saying re-elect me and i will pass a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. that was his big closing pitch to conservative voters in places like ohio in 2004. here we are fast forward to today with this court with a chief justice he appointed could take us to a place that george w. bush could never have imagined. >> we could get that decision as early as tomorrow morning, the decision on whether or not same-sex hair rmarriage is goine approved throughout the united states. let's go to hillary rosen. you're one of our cnn p

and i think you saw the john roberts part of this today.esn't say to you that john roberts loves health care reform. what it says to you is they understood that congress' intent was not to throw the health care system into chaos, but rather to provide these subsidies and, you know there's a statement here that says that the combination of no tax credits and an infective coverage requirement could well push a state's individual insurance market into a death spiral. it is implausible that congress meant to do that. so they're just interpreting what congress meant, but that is what the president has been saying. that's what the president said. this is a huge legacy day for barack obama. >> this may well be the best week of his second term in the sense that back from the ashes he had lost that trade vote. then they have a big comeback with the help of republicans, we should take note with the help of republicans he gets his trade legacy piece of the agenda and now this, which the cement is about dry. yes, there's another legal challenge but the

chief justice roberts offering that opinion. and once again, he is stepping in, taking the lead here with saying that the core words established by the state, that does not mean that only applies to residents and states with state-run exchanges. it applies to all the residents, across the united states, even in those states with federally run exchanges. this is a huge victory for the obama administration, who almost saw four words established in the state basically throw his signature achievement into chaos. and this is what chief justice roberts said in his opinion. he says, while the meaning of the phrase, an exchange established by the state, under the act, may seem plain, when reviewed in isolation, such a reading turns out to be untenable and lies as the statute as a whole. so he is saying, ashleigh, if you look at the law as a whole, it's very clear that the intent is for everyone to receive those subsidies. let me tell you why this is so important. this is a key provision in the affordable care act. the government has bee

chief justice roberts writing for the majority. focused on were subsidies that individuals get who cannot pay for their own health insurance, and whether that would be available through the federal website, or whether they are only available to individuals who in fact bought their insurance through the 14 states and district of columbia that set up their own local exchange. well, if the court had decided those subsidies won't available broadly nationwide 6.3 million people could have lost their healthcare subsidies, and would have found health care unaffordable, so there was a lot at stake here. justice roberts said there was a lot of economic and political significance to this decision. now the language in this statute was what was at question. four words. it said sub sid sdis are available to those who buy their insurance through exchanges, quote, established by the state, so what do those four words mean? the decenters say look if those four words mean something -- i'm sorry, i think it with us a scalia who wrote the descent, he

i think the biggest irony is that scalia and roberts agree on the motive behind the roberts' ruling.t roberts sort of confesses this he says that he doesn't want the court to overturn this. and if there's any way that he can find to justify the exchanges he will find it. in other wordshe sees his role as being the sleuth who goes into the law and somehow justifies it. he made the same argument the last time he saved obama care when it was challenged because it was an illegal penalty. so he decided that it wasn't really a penalty, despite the fact that in the government briefs they had admitted that but it was a tax. so he invented something that wasn't in the law because he said he didn't want to overturn it. scalia says the same thing. scalia is saying the principle roberts is upholding is not the plain interpretation of the law. roberts admits that the plain interpretation of the language of the law would strike down obama care. he admits it. but he has a higher principle. and the question is why does he want to preserve obama care? i'm not sure it's because he believes in the poli

he went on to say that roberts was dison in his juris prudence.>> there was a lot of back and forth in the majority opinion justice roberts cited the dissent from the last even obamacare care-so there's trolling going back and forth this is a big disappointment we don't get to watch them read the decisions. we should have cram razz in the courtrooms. judge scalia read his dissent from the bench, and when he talked about scotuscare, justice robert laughed. >> probably nervous laughter. roberts claimed that these four words were just an anomaly a typo and scalia said, wait a minute, that's impossible because it appears elsewhere. what are the odds, do you think. that the same slip of the pen occurred in seven separate places? hardly a typo. >> roberts has to cop seed it's an instant artfully written law and the talk beside the law was passed was unusual, wind closed doors, avoided filibuster. so really what i think roberts is saying while it's an inartful law, unusually passed we don't want to have what we think will be death spiral of the law if we

if you take those four words completely out of that context, obviously which justice roberts and kennedy rejected then i can see how you would come to that conclusion, but without that there's really no way that you uphold that argument. >> how concerned are you by further challenges to the aca at this point? >> it's -- i mean we have had almost 60 votes to repeal the law in the house. we have had one presidential election, now we have two supreme court decisions that affirm the law. i am really hopeful that at this point, we can finally get to a place where we can actually begin to legislate on the affordable care act. i think democrats across the board have said there are places where we can improve it work on it, make it work better for people most importantly, and i'm very hopeful after all of this turmoil we can finally get to that point. >> yvette thank you for your incites this morning. i'm going to bring david back into the conversation. david as we look at these two supreme court rulings, 2012 and now today, both upholding the aca, how do we take a step back and gauge the succes

>> well i would have supported john roberts for supreme court.e supported it. >> even though he's twice sided with the president on the law that you and your colleagues say is ruining the health care system in this country? >> i think it's a terrible law written behind closed doors. as nancy pelosi said you have to pass it before you find out what is in it. i think every democrat who voted for it didn't read it in the first place and the president continues to ignore the fact that many people around the country are hurt as a result of his law. he just says it's working well. we're only 1 in 11 people across the country believe it's working well. there's a disconnect between the way the president thinks the way the law is working and what people across the country are seeing and i hear it every weekend in wyoming from folks who have lost their insurance that they liked that worked for them. they had to buy more expensive insurance with higher co-pays, higher deductibles. for a lot of things being covered that they don't need want or can afford. th

justice roberts writing the opinion on it. wow, he shocked a lot of people. >> well apparently he shocked a lot of conservatives, but i think this case should never have been before the supreme court. this all boils down to knit picking by conservative who's never liked the laws and big government overreach taking away personal choices for people who can afford their own health insurance or have it provided by employers. of course what the law has done is provide more people who didn't have insurance. that was the purpose. i think justice roberts was saying that was the intent of the law. >> let me cut you off. >> guys we have a lot of people here. i'm going to bring you john. the supreme court, justice roberts, saying established by the states. now that's the way the law was written. they reinterpreted by the states to move the state meaning the feds. >> because the goal is we talked about time and time again the goal of obama care was control. i mean, to establish as the president talked about. health care is a right, and th

it should be called roberts obamacare. if you remember the original, he voted shockingly in favor of obamacare. now he has done it again. >> so now obamacare is jeb bush's fault, according to donald trump. jeb bush has not relied to trump, who's now running second to bush in the latest new hampshire primary poll. more on president obama's winning week next. ♪ kraft barbecue sauce's new recipe is made with sweet molasses, cane sugar and no high fructose corn syrup. that's not how most leading barbecue sauces do it. but that's how it's done at kraft. benny's the oldest dog in the shelter. he needed help all day so i adopted him. when my back pain flared up, we both felt it. i tried tylenol but it was 6 pills a day. with aleve it's just two pills, all day. now i'm back! aleve. all day strong. >> if the partisan challenge to this law succeeded millions of americans would have had thousands of dollars of tax credits taken from them. for many insurance would have been unaffordable again. many would have been uninsured again. ult

to many liberals chief justice john roberts wears a cape today. how did a man whom senator obama voted against end up saving obama care from crumbling yet again? also in politics -- >> look i give up a lot. i give up hundreds of millions of dollars in deals -- >> donald trump going all in on the presidency and saying it's costing him millions. but is he as serious as that scowl suggests? a sneak peek from my one-on-one interview. >>> good afternoon everyone. welcome to "the lead." i'm jake tapper. breaking news on the national league. the multimillion dollar manhunt in new york for escaped killers richard matt and david sweat is now on day 20. you're looking right now at live pictures from inside the courtroom where the arraignment of prison guard gene palmer who was arrested yesterday for aiding in the escape of the two fugitives will take place at any moment now. there's also some new information on how the prison was run. a former maintenance supervisor at the prison telling cnn the clinton correctional facility used inmates to do plumbing and

"john roberts, the umpire in chief."hat is this morning from jeffrey rosen inside "the new york times." next is like from north carolina. good morning. caller: good morning, steve. i have been doing a little research and found a couple articles from salon.com and another one that gives information on roberts. they feel that his obamacare decision was the result of being blackmailed because of his illegal method to adopt to children that he has. i do not know if that is true or not, but i know this information is out there by salon and drudge . i think people should look into it because that would explain a lot about his decisions. host: you need to clarify. what do you mean by illegal methods? caller: i have the article but it is rather lengthy. he did not go through the proper adoption process. for that reason, he opened himself up to people who wanted to blackmail him. host: who would want to blackmail him? caller: i don't know, steve. that is the question. why would he make decisions to everybody's surprise. this blac

chief justice roberts: it is a fairly dramatic disparity. you respond with a different calculation that looks -- i would call it collateral. ancillary. and then the argument -- it's not quite proper because you are using the regulation to get at the criteria that you otherwise would have to go through a much more difficult process to regulate. in other words, you cannot regulate criteria pollutants. so that's how were going to get an additional regulation of the criteria. so, it's kind of a runaround restrictions that otherwise would give you less control. mr. verrilli: let me address that. there are seven points and i think to make all of it -- all of them to make this clear. this is an argument that i do not think any party has raised -- justice breyer: my chamber argument. [laughter] mr. verrilli: here's the problem. the problem with the argument -- there are two problems. once epa concludes that a source emits hazardous pollutants, epa has concluded that it admits mercury of levels that are unsafe. i do not think the petitioners can disp

justice roberts: undisputed facts? i thought you had the burden of showing the determineses were erroneous. it is not a case where the facts have to be undisputed. ms. konrad: i'm sorry if i missmoke. what we have to look at before in order to show why the was an -- this was an erroneous finding is what the undisputed facts before the district court. justice sotomayor: the state doesn't propose that their doctor was right. they're not defending it. they don't say it's true. they -- i conceded, as a read their brief, that it does not work the way the doctors said it worked. that it does not paralyze the brain. correct? ms. konrad: that is correct. justice sotomayor: so it's clear error. now we have an admission that the expert was plainly wrong so what else -- nothing else that the district court could have based its conclusion on, correct? ms. konrad: that is correct. the district court reached this decision based on no scientific evidence and with a medical consensus to the contrary, that this drug is not able to phar

roberts. >> do you represent him. >> no, that's my brother. >> daniel roberts is your brother. >> yeah tape me. >> no you're the right guy for to us talk to then. >> i'm not the right guy. i'm doing the grounds for my brother. >> reporter: he told us his name is mark johnson the brother by another mother he said of owner daniel roberts. we'll get back to this guy and his family tree in a moment but first, furniture sir plus much it's had several philly locations including this newer store along the boulevard recent recently closed and this bright hulking warehouse on lancaster avenue in west philly. the business had been around for 25 years owned by mark finkelstein of new jersey. finkelstein says he sold furniture sir plus in march to daniel roberts who has draped the tarp over the old sign on lancaster avenue and renamed it king furniture. but sir-plus still shows up inside the store. roberts is the guy we came to see. >> daniel you think is coming back? >> probably here this evening. >> tonight. he's not going to be here this afternoon? >> what's happened to everybody who spent thou

the former owner says, the new guy daniel roberts is.t in the sales agreement where it states the buyers shall assume the dollar amount of the accounts payable and liabilities for advanced payments by customers of seller. in an e-mail finkel stein wrote he's offered to help roberts and was cutting him slack on makeing required payments but added i'm very disappointed that he has taken the reputation i had built over 25 years and destroyed it so quickly. but finkel stein has problems of his own. tax records show lancaster property holding the company listed as the seller of furniture sir plus owes philadelphia more than 12 grand in real estate taxes. finkel stein said there are others involved in that business but he'd look at the bill and pay what he owes. pennsylvania tax records show leans of about 6,000 bucks have been slapped on finkel steen and his business since november of 2009. again, he said he'd look at them and pay what he owes. and there's something else. we made one more visit to the furniture store and met yet another custo
