the secretary of health and human services, sylvia burwell, where she indicated, if a -- some kind of reaction is necessary, in the unlikely event of an adverse ruling from the supreme court, that the pressure would be immediately on governors and state officials and congress to try to address the situation. and the fact is this is something hard to predict without seeing the ruling, but again if there were -- in the unlikely event there were an adverse ruling, we've indicated there is no simple, easy fix that can be made solely by the executive branch. but again we continue to have a lot of confidence in the strength of the legal arguments made before the supreme court in this matter. and we believe that it -- it is very clear what the statute says. and that is why we continue to have confidence in the outcome. major. >> josh, would it be fair to say that the president's remarks today amounted to an apology for what the administration got wrong in dealing with the hostage families. he did not use that word in public but did he i wonder use it when he spoke with the families either to

the house secretary, sylvia burwell, says they're going to do everything they can, but that's not much. congress and the states have to do most of it. and it is also interesting that the white house is basically on track to veto whatever the republican plan is. the republican plan is likely to repeal big parts of obamacare like the individual mandate the environment that everybody buys health insurance. so we could be headed for kind of a standoff here if the white house is going to veto what the republicans have, and the republicans are not interested in just restoring the subsidies the way that the white house wants them to. >> the supreme court ruling on the nation's health care law is not coming down today. the supreme court will delay that until maybe sometime later this week, possibly next. we'll have live coverage of that, of course when the supreme court does make a decision. and once again, here we're live on capitol hill. we continue waiting for this homeland security subcommittee hearing on epa regulations and renewable fuel standards to resume. they're in a brief break now
