that won't happen. we'll get to that in a second. a couple of hours ago in the rose garden the president made it crystal clear that the affordable care act is here to stay. >> this is not an abstract thing anymore. this is not a set of political talking points. this is reality. we can see how it is working. this law is working exactly as it's supposed to. in many ways this law is working better than it's expected to. for all of the doomsday predictions, talk of death panels for all of the repeal attempts, this law is now helping tens of millions of americans. >> the fight is not over far from it. nevertheless it's a huge win for the president. pamela brown is on the steps of the u.s. supreme court. let's begin with the fact that this is a 6-3 ruling. break it down for me. >> reporter: and led by chief justice roberts. once again he's stepping in and taking the lead and essentially saving obamacare. with this ruling today, millions of americans who are receiving subsidies to help them pay for their health insurance can continue to keep the subsidies. the obama administration has said that the subsidies are the linchpin to the law. without them people would lose their health insurance and it would create a big mess. challengers to this law say there are four words that make it clear that only people in states with state-run exchanges can have subsidies. those four words, established by the state. here's what chief justice roberts said in response to the challengers. he said petitioners' arguments about the plain meaning of the act are strong. but while the meaning of the phrase an exchange established by the state under the act may seem plain when viewed in isolation such a reading turns out to be untenable in light of the statute as a whole. chief justice scalia said look the law makes tax credits available everywhere. we should start calling this law scotuscare. there was a chuckle in the room at that moment. chief justice roberts came out and said he was going to read the opinion. of course a few years ago he stumped conservatives by upholding the constitutionality of the affordable care act. >> and death spirals that we're going to get with the politics and personalities with all of the different justices it's fascinating when a decision like this comes down. let me move on because today's decision could have a major impact on the 2016 presidential election next november is potentially the next big chance voter also have to give their chance on the health care law. lincoln chaffe is a presidential candidate and on the phone with me. thank you for calling in. >> good afternoon. glad to join you. >> could you put this day in perspective for all of us? when we're looking back as far as president obama's legacy is concerned, would it be fair to say this is one of the biggest days of his presidency? >> i would say the last couple of days with the fair trade bill passing and now having the supreme court rule on the affordable care act, it's a great day for the president. i support both the trade and affordable care act. in kentucky and rhode island they had the highest percentage of citizens sign up. so it's good news. great news for americans to have insurance in the future. >> since it's a great victory for your party, is that something that fellow democrats will use to run on? >> absolutely. >> how? >> because the republicans are trying to repeal the affordable care act. it's a great talking point to go out into various states in states and saying you don't have to worry about your primary care as you used to have to. it's a great bill and it's going to be great for our american citizens. we're going dof ato have a healthy america as a result. >> governor chafee, you were a member of the republican party years ago and now because you know both parties so well in your opinion, in these last couple of years, what do you think has really changed in the conservative movement in this country? >> well it's known that the republican party drifted southward as fewer and fewer democrats were elected in the south. so priorities changed it and became more social issues and cared less about fiscal issues that used to be bedrock of the republican take care of the books. that was number one. the republican party fought back the deficits and tried to focus on social issues repealing the affordable care act. americans want to have health insurance and we're going to make this work. even better. >> they would take a look at congress and we'll be talking to republicans coming up later. their perspective and of course how this pertains to presidential politics. governor chafee thank you for calling in. i appreciate it. and from a legal perspective, let me bring in a legal contributor, a law professor at the college of law, an expert on constitutional law and federal jurisdiction. steven welcome. this is an exciting day for you. as i mentioned with pamela brown, it's significant because this is time number two now that this bush appointee, this conservative chief justice, john roberts, has saved obamacare. what's your reaction to that? >> well i think that's right. pam had it exactly right, that this was bit of a surprise. we knew all along, once the court decided to take this case that it was going to come down to chief roberts and justice kennedy. now we both know that they are siding with the obama administration. this is a good sign that every once in a while a case comes along where they say, yes, this is loaded with political baggage but my job is to interpret the law and that's what i'm doing here. >> you mentioned justice kennedy. i want to get to him in a second. for those of you watching along, we've got sort of your justice baseball cards in the middle of the screen. what's interesting to me here when you look back three years ago when the supreme court held up the constitutionality of the affordable care act, justice kennedy found it unconstitutional but today he agreed with the majority opinion. what happened? >> three years ago there was a question about the scope of the federal government's power, vis-a-vis the state. justice kennedy has been very concerned about the relationship between the federal government and the states. the question the supreme court answered this morning was not about federalism but what did those four words mean. >> the interpret teags over the four words? >> that's right. from justice kennedy's perspective, this was not the fraught stage driven case that led to dissent three years ago. >> justice scalia -- pam mentioned the chuckle that we should be calling obamacare scotuscare. and one more quote that jumped out at me is -- where is the apple sauce quote? "otherwise the court says there would be no qualified individuals on federal exchanges contradicting for example the provision requiring every exchange to take the interests of qualified individuals into account when selecting health plans. pure applesauce." >> it's clear to the average person and he says it is and nothing else matters. what we see in this opinion today is exactly the fight between textualists who say it's more about text. you cannot retext divorce from context. and if you actually look at the affordable care act as a whole, it's pretty clear that congress did not mean for this particular test to be read literally the way that justice skalycalia wants to read it. >> do these justices get together and have lunch? just curious? >> they are very cordial with each other. they are going to have to see each other for another 5, 10 15 years. but at the end of his dissent, justice scalia did not usually put in his respectful dissent. he just said "i dissent." on monday we may see similar fireworks on both sides of the issue. >> that will be huge. steve vladeck thank you. bizarre developments in the prison escape in new york. the second prison worker this time a guard has been charged in this plot. here what hear what he's accused of doing. plus we'll speak live with a former female prison worker who not only helped an inmate escape but she spent days on the run with him. she's injoing me live, next. when you got married?

>> well i think it has a lot to do with a particular place that i was at in my life. i had been a perfectionist, a hard worker, i tried to live up to the role that everybody else set for me. i had a pretty high bar that i set for myself too. at some point, all of that pressure and all of that responsibility you have a breaking point. and, unfortunately, i had a breaking point at a time when someone was able to capitalize on that. i think women have a choice. they can -- if they need to make a change in their life they can make a change from a position of strength and courage. they can evaluate their options. and do something to make their life better whether it's to work on the problems they have or go in a different direction. but when you don't -- when you ignore your problems you become in a state of desperation where the silliest stupidest ideas seem like a great idea. >> hindsight is 20/20. you've been thinking about it now. but at the time how were you swept up? did he seduce you? were you a willing seducee? >> well you know it was just refreshing to have somebody pay attention to you. and talk about how you were feeling and notice how you looked and for me that was a breath of fresh air. it was like pouring water on a dying plant and i soaked it up. had i been a stronger person at that point in my life it would have washed right off and not had any effect. >> did you know about his criminal past? >> i did, yes. >> we've been hearing from this former inmate who told cnn that in this current situation, the seamstress that she and one of these murderers would escape off into closets and spend time in there doing, you know who knows what. i mean did you have opportunities to be with this man at this jail? >> no not really. i mean we spent a lot of time talking. he was one of my dog handlers and he was a person who escorted me around inside the prison while i was there so i would be safe from any other inmate that you know had ill intentions. so we spent quite a lot of time talking. but -- >> i hear you on the lack of opportunities but obviously you created an opportunity by helping him escape. how did he -- was this his idea and how did you pull this off? >> well it was his idea and i -- by the time he mentioned it to me it was pretty well worked out. he pretty well had it worked out. i didn't this it was going to happen. it was kind of a fantasy game what if wouldn't this be cool? and i found myself taking one step and then another step and another step until it was that day and i was driving through the gate. and even at the time i still didn't think he'd be in the van. i was surprised that the whole thing worked out. >> and what did it -- let me ask you, before you get ahead, when you were in this cabin, was there a sense of excitement that you were on the run or did you realize the second you did it that it was a bad move? >> well there was a moment of panic that i had once we were outside the prison and i realized he was in the van because all these thoughts run through my mind and what's going to happen and, wow, i'm going to really be in trouble now. that was a moment of shock. but during the time that we were on the run, i tried not to think about it. so i -- which was common for me back then. i tried to put anything negative out of my mind and just pretend like anything was fine. so that was kind of par for the course. >> and then it wasn't fine and you all got caught. >> no. right. right. and i went to prison. and i can remember being right where joyce is now. you know being in jail for the first time and i had never even had a speeding ticket. or even pulled over. >> wow. >> and so i was just stunned at the place i found myself and i can remember telling my attorney when he asked for a continuance for two weeks, i can remember saying i can't stay in jail for two weeks. that can't happen. i can't do this. well you know 2 1/2 years later, i walked out. so i learned you can do things that you don't think you can do. but the funny thing is that for me i used that time in prison to really learn who i was. and to learn who i wanted to be. and what i needed to do with my life to become a better person to become the person i knew i could be. and so -- and that hasn't stopped either for the last six years since i've been out of prison. i continually look for opportunities to grow to, help other people to be stronger in my falthith, in my emotions in my mental state. but i'm a much stronger person today for having gone to prison. >> final question with this renewed sense of strength and this knowledge and sense of self, if you had joyce mitchell sitting right next to you, knowing what we think we know about her and how perhaps she was involved what would you say to her? >> i would say to her, don't listen to what the world is saying about you right now because nobody is saying anything very nice. but, instead, look at yourself and vision the person you want to be and spend all of your time and energy focusing on yourself. because until you fix yourself and you become the strong person that you're capable of being, you aren't of use of anyone else to your family and friends. you need to put that strength and character out to the rest of the world and it's in her. i believe she can do it. and i would tell her, don't give up. don't lose sight of that. don't let this action become who you are for the rest of your life. rise above it and be something else. >> toby dorr what a story you have to tell. i admire your strength. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. bye. next my next guest spent six years in a high-security prison. why she says that escaping from miss prison was the worst mistake they could have ever made. hear what will happen to them, next. defiance is in our bones. new citracal pearls. delicious berries and cream. soft, chewable, calcium plus vitamin d. only from citracal.

"escaping in prison is like committing suicide, the wrath of those left behind awaits your return." so the two escapees from the facility where you worked tell me what happened. >> there were two unrelated escapes. the first one happened right at the end of what would have been a school christmas break. and that sunday would have been the last day that students from out of state could have seen their mothers in the visiting room. when we went into a lockdown status because of the escape all of the visits were canceled. as you can imagine, the mothers who were expecting to see their kids before they returned to school the next day were very upset that they couldn't see their children. the second escape was less problematic. it happened in early april. and it was resolved very quickly. not that much more quickly but quickly so that -- not that many things got shot down. the lockdown did not last very long. the timing of it was bad for the inmates. >> what about this current situation, the two current escapees. they were on the honor block. they were able to cook in their own cells. life didn't seem too terrible for two convicted killers. what will it be like when they return? >> i'm also certain that matt and sweat will die in seg. not to be too much of a pessimist on this but -- >> die in what? >> in seg. in segregation. from "orange is the new black," we call it shoe. >> how will the inmates feel towards them now that the privileges would be revoked? would that even matter that the folks would be in seg? >> i don't think anyone in the general population would have much access to them. clinton is off lockdown status now but i don't know what the -- the conditions have changed, things are not allowed anymore, if there's restricted movement throughout the facility. without knowing that i can't really say. all i know is they were locked down for a while. usually it requires no inmate leaves their cell to eat, shower to do anything. so it can be a very uncomfortable time for those in the lockdown. i'm sure they are angry at them. whether they will have access to them to say anything or do anything to them probably not. but it will be -- >> this will be a high-fiving atta boy many middle fingers if they were to see these inmates when they return. yes? >> yes. when the escapees return they went right into segregated status. no one had any access to them. i'm sure if they had been out in general population there would have been incidents and accidents and other situations. >> okay. my find question is in your piece you do show compassion for her, assuming that this is a big assumption that she was innocent in this whole crime. knowing what we know and speaking with a fascinating conversation with a woman who is sort of lulled into this relationship with the killer behind bars and helped them escape you know how -- i'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how that even happens. >> you mean how an inmate convinces a staff to do something that extreme? >> yes. >> it would have to be in a work situation inside a prison where someone would have enough time and enough face time with a staff member to convince them to do something this extreme. i had work assignments like every other inmate while i was at york ci and extended periods of time with my supervisors in close contact doing work but i never had that kind of extended period of time with a regular guard or any of the if anything like that is going to happen it's probably going to happen in a private situation. in my experience most people would have to have extended period of time maybe a few minutes alone, away from prying eyes to convince somebody to do something like that. >> takes guts, i suppose. chandra bozelko, thank you. >> thank you very much. coming up next we'll take you live outside the courtroom where gene palmer the guard was arrested for tampering with evidence. he's expected to appear in court this afternoon and we will talk

prison break in upstate new york. gene palmer is accused of giving screwdriver and pliers to the inmates. prosecutors claim that palmer was given paintings from the inmates. paintings that he tried to burn and get rid of. joining me now is jean casarez. have we heard anything from the guard's lawyer about why he was allowing them to rewire the electricity behind the cell walls? >> he's not talking at all. but we spoke to a neighbor of gene palmer. there is always electrical issues around the area and it's very common to have things like that happen. today in court, there's going to be a court hearing and we'll see if gene palmer comes but he is being charged with very serious things. there are three felonies here and one misdemeanor. he was charged last night, arraigned last night, pleaded not guilty. he had a bond set of $25,000. he bonded out. we under he used a credit card. but that complaint, brooke of what you're saying is very rich in details because it really says that on four different occasions, not just once but he brought in a screw drier and pliers from the outside and brought it to an inmate between november 2014 and the day of escape. it also goes on to say that after the escape happened, that he took paintings from matt and sweat and burned them on his property and then also subsequently buried different paintings at a separate location close to his home. they executed a search warrant and found the tools at his home, brooke. >> boris, i hear authorities are warning folks in the area really truly, these men may be armed. what kind of intelligence do they have to lead them to believe that? >> brooke, authorities are, working under the assumption that these men are armed because of the seasonal hunting cabins in this area. there are so many cabins that they are not sure how many weapons might be around. they don't have an inventory. it's impossible to tell whether or not they are armed and that it's possible that there were weapons inside that cabin that was broken into over the weekend. brooke? >> okay. boris, thank you. randy, you heard gene three felonies. we're talking about helping allegedly with the screwdriver and the paintings. could his -- what will his defense attorney say? he didn't know what he was doing, he was just bringing this stuff in he didn't ask any questions? >> here's the good news and bad news. the good news is the lawyer will walk in and say, as you just said my client had absolutely no idea there was anything inside of the meat zero. and there's no evidence to support that. bad news is the prosecutor will start talking about what you did after. and so oftentimes it's not what someone does that really screws them up no pun intended it's what they do afterwards. >> such as? >> burning the proof. >> that detail. >> oops. it's like the old bugs bunny thing. do i put him in the oven? so the point is -- but here's the other thing that kind of blows my mind with this whole thing. the prosecutor will have a tool saying i didn't know what was inside of the briefcase, what was in the bag. what conscience avoidance is the prosecutor's way of proving knowledge which is you close your eyes to the high probability that what is in that meat ain't just meat. why wouldn't you put it through the metal detector? >> so how did he this guard who took a polygraph test asked all of these tough questions, he passed it. >> they are not admissible. they are not real reliable. and this is one of the occasions where i will argue in favor of the prosecution and say, they are not real reliable. >> okay. randy zelin, thank you very much. jean casarez, thank you. as we enter day 20 of the escaped killers, we talk to an escaped inmate who hid out in the woods of north carolina. keep it here. a1c is not at
