Supreme Court Hears Affordable Care Act Case; AG Breaks With DOJ Precedent

Supreme Court Hears Affordable Care Act Case; AG Breaks With DOJ Precedent

With Obamacare once again on the chopping block at the U.S. Supreme Court, comments from the justices appeared to suggest Tuesday that a majority is inclined to leave the bulk of the Affordable Care Act in place.

There is no evidence of substantial election fraud.

This episode: congressional correspondent Susan Davis, national political correspondent Mara Liasson, and national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson.
