shannon thank you very much. shannon was delivering that report, we got this shocking update from the justice department, it believes the healthcare law is constitutional. so there you go. the administration continues to believe that its law is constitutional and they believe that they will ultimately prevail on this healthcare law. the reason that's significance is because it comes directly from the department of justice which doesn't normally comment on this thing. they gave us a one liner saying they disagree with the ruling. as i said we are waiting for reaction directly from the white house when robert gibbs takes to the microphones in about 20 minutes. we'll hear what they have to say about a ruling that is obviously not good for them. later we'll get to what this ruling means for everyone out there who is in the healthcare world buying insurance. in five minutes we want to see what this means for the republican effort to change big parts of this law. remember? the top three agenda items for the republicans
