"Chief Justice Roberts' Key Role in Health Care Ruling" PBS Newshour 7/2/2012
Excerpt
JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): Since the Supreme Court handed down its landmark health care decision last week, legal scholars and commentators have honed in on the role of Chief Justice Roberts, who sided with the court's liberals to allow the individual mandate to stand and on the decision's wider impact on future attempts to assert or restrain federal powers in this and other areas.
We are going to explore all this now with Laurence Tribe, professor of constitutional law at Harvard Law School, where he once had John Roberts as well as President Obama as students, and David Rivkin, a partner at the Baker Hostetler law firm in Washington. He represented the 26 states that challenged the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.
