CSPAN: 'Minority Leader Pelosi Reaction to Supreme Court Health Care Ruling'



Source:CSPAN- U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Democrat, California) talking about the Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act.

"Minority Leader Pelosi (D-CA) reacted to the Supreme Court decision that upheld the the health care law, the Affordable Care Act, saying the decision was a victory for the American people. She answered questions from reporters.." 

From CSPAN

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi laying out the benefits of the Affordable Care Act and the ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court today. 

The ACA was actually saved by Conservative Republican Chief Justice John Roberts. Going in, it looked like Justice Anthony Kennedy looked like the best shot at saving the ACA, because even though he's definitely a Conservative, he's not as right-wing and partisan as Justice Clarence Thomas. (To use as an example) 

But Chief Justice Roberts ruling that this isn't the law he would've written, but that the ACA is constitutional (according to him) because the individual mandate is a tax, even though it's not called a tax in the actual law that Congress passed in 2010.
