SCHULTZ: Finally, is this Kennedy-like? You didn't get everything, but you got a great start. And you got some great things, and – that was kind of his philosophy.

Mark Levin reacts to today's Supreme Court decision on ObamaCare: "Just because five lawyers in black robes, one of whom was purported to be a conservative, a man I knew a long time ago, issue a decision of the sort that they issued doesn't make it proper.

Glenn Harlan Reynolds: "The buyers think that what they're buying will appreciate in value, making them rich in the future. The product grows more and more elaborate and more and more expensive, but the expense is offset by cheap credit provided by sellers who are eager to encourage buyers to buy.

"Let's talk about Roberts. I'm going to tell you something that you're not going to hear anywhere else, that you must pay attention to. It's well known that Roberts, unfortunately for him, has suffered from epileptic seizures. Therefore he has been on medication. Therefore neurologists will tell you that medication used for seizure disorders, such

MSNBC's Toure responds to S.E. Cupp, who points out that, according to polls, the healthcare reform bill is "overwhelmingly unpopular." Statistics lie all the time, we know that.

“I think this will be one of the big issues in the campaign. I understand why the president wants to move on because people don’t support him on this.
