door during a flight across the country screaming there's a bomb. we'll take you inside jetblue flight 191. we he begin with the drama still unfolding on capitol hill. members of congress heard from the parents of trayvon martin. he is of course the florida teenager shot and killed last month by george zimmerman who has not been arrested or charged with any crime. the grieving parents met with house democrats. they insist their son was shot because he was black. >> i'd like to say thank you, thank you for the support. as i said before and i'll say it again, trayvon was our son, but trayvon is your son. >> thank you to everyone who is supportive of our family, everyone who has helped us stand tall in this matter. >> at a time investigators are asking for calm and for time, the martin family supporters in congress are only escalating their rhetoric. >> this investigation is laceded with racial profiling, lies, and murder. trayvon was hunted, chased, tackled and shot. ill conceived laws and lax gun laws all contribute to this tragedy. in closing, mr. zimmerman should be arrested immediately for his own safety. >> in a few moments we'll hear from the special prosecutor in charge of investigating the trayvon martin shooting. but now a defining legal and political debate. president obama's signature achievement, health care reform, may be in serious trouble. attorneys defending the law ran into tough questions at the supreme court today, especially when they argued the constitution gives congress the power to force you to buy health insurance. justice kennedy joined the other conservatives in voicing doubts. >> the reason this is concerning is because it requires the individual to do an affirmative act. once we say that there is a market and congress can require people to participate, all bets are off and you can regulate that market in any rational way. >> you can make people buy broccoli. >> kate, let's start with you. this is a huge case. very tough questions. very quickly out of the box from the justices. >> very tough questions. and from the sound bites that we just ran, it really sums up where a lot of the line of questioning was from the more conservative justices, specially right at the solicitor general. they really hammered him on a lot of kind of the central questions that have been lingering. and from their line of questioning and from the sound bites that you heard from inside the courtroom, it definitely signals if not strongly suggests that the justices, more conservative justices were not buying his argument, more buying the argument of the attorney representing the states that they believe the law goes just too far in forcing people to buy something they may not need or want and also they seemed concerned about where is the boundary, that's the kind of brockly argument. but again, a lot of hard questioning. they can always surprise us, but it seems like the individual mandate could be in real trouble. >> jeff, you tweeted that had fact immediately after. by your math and i want to listen to more, some people at home are asking what if they're playing devil's advocate, what if they're asking these tough questions to hide what they really think. let's think of a more liberal justice and more conservative justice. >> i hook balook back in to hisd it seems clear that if there are substantial effects on interstate commerce, congress can act. >> it's the insurance market you're addressing and you're saying some people who are not in it must be in it. and that's different from regulating in any manner commerce that all right exists out there. >> you studied this court crowley. is what they say in the courtroom what they think or are they playing games a little bit? >> this is a an example of how the court has changed. 20 years ago, they would do some devil's advocate. you couldn't predict very ath accurately how they were going to vote based on what they said. these days, almost all the time you can tell what they're thinking by what they're saying. and today, the four conservatives who spoke were clearly very skeptical of the law, clarence thomas as he has for the past six years didn't speak, but his views on this issue are well-known. that gets to you five and i think the individual mandate is gone. >> and you tweeted and you were saying in our coverage you think this this law, the mandate part is in grave danger. democrats don't like that. so the democratic leader of the united states senate, harry reid, decided to challenge our senior analyst. >> i wouldn't bet on this, but i'll bet i've been in court a lot more than jeff are rrey too. and i've had arguments, federal circuit, supreme court and hundreds of times before trial courts and the questions you get from the judges didn't mean that's what's going to wind up with the opinion. >> that was then, this is now? >> with all due tors my fell legal analyst harry reid, i'm sure he has more experience than i do. it this court, they don't mess around. they don't talk to each other a lot except during oral arguments. they give it their best shot and it looked like 5-4 to me. >> they came up with pretty strong opinions. >> the four liberals were clearly not happy with the job defending the what you, law, so making speeches. people almost laughed a couple types because steven breyer was speaking so much more than asking questions. >> we'll talk more about it later and again tomorrow. see you in a bit. another scary moment in the skies today. get this this, the jetblue flight had to divert after according to passengers the captain started yelling about a bomb. heidi was a passenger on flight 191 from new york to las vegas. she was in row eight. i talked to her about just what happened. >> i was sitting watching an - flight movie and all of a sudden a bunch of flight attendants were running down the aisle and ahead of them was a tall gentleman in a jetblue uniform. i didn't know at the time that he was the captain. he started pounding on the bathroom door yelling i need the code, i need to get back in. when they were trying to calm him down, he was saying hers going to bomb us and they had to restrain him and a bunch of male passengers ran to the front of the plane to hub subdue him to the ground. at that time, we heard over the intercom with need to restrain him, we need to restrain him and they got him will dodown to the. >> he said something about a bomb? >> yeah, pretty much heard that part. it was pretty interesting to hear that coming from someone? a jetblue uniform. we didn't know at the time he was a captain. he was pretty freaked out banging on the docockpit door. so, yeah, a very scary five minutes. >> the airline is saying the captain had a medical condition. what do you know? >> they're saying this was a medical situation. we know that local law enforcement, the fbi, tsa, is looking in to what happened. but you heard heidi talk about this. you certainly got a sense from among the many passengers, i've talked with three or four of them, of the fear that was going on. the faa also said that the co-pilot became concerned about the pilot's behavior and essentially the pilot left the cockpit, co-pilot locked the door. that's one of the things going on. and then that dramatic run from the back of the plane up to the front where several passengers including a retired nypd sergeant sat on him for about 15 minutes until they got the plane down. >> great reaction by those on the flight. coincidence or something to be concerned about that we were talking just a week ago about the american airlines flight attendant who had a rant into the speakers, the p.a. system on the plane about possibly a bomb? might . >> a little bit of both. anything that happens on a plane getting everybody's attention. certainly a plane at cruising altitude like this. it's important to remind everyone the pilots are the most screened an self selected groups of people in the country who are fit, who undergo medical examinations to get their licenses, to get their renewals. and one of the things we've seen is actually back and forth with the faa about mental health and folks who fly. the faa now allows pilots to fly on four different types of antidepressants and there are questions about asking for help if they need it. we don't know if that it's the case here. we asked what are you doing about it this, and we're waiting to hear. >> let's hope we're not talking about another one of these soon. one of harsh critics of the health care reform law. we'll ask michele bachmann what should happen to people who have insurance now and may lose it if that law is overturned. you but next, the special prosecutor in the trayvon martin shooting. >> the political outrye mak ryc our job heard because anytime there is a misunderstanding of the process based on what we're required to do under florida law, it makes our job more difficult. everything. but why energy? we've got over 100 years worth. is it safe to get it? but what, so we should go broke with imports? look, i'm just saying. well, energy creates jobs. [announcer:] at conocophillips, we're helping power america's economy with cleaner, affordable natural gas. more jobs, less emissions. a good answer for everyone. we gotta be careful. it's cleaner. it's affordable. look, if it's safe, i'm there. [announcer:] conocophillips. you see the gray. try root touch-up by nice 'n easy. just brush our permanent color matching creme right where you need it. then rinse. in ten minutes zap those grays and get on with your day. nice 'n easy root touch-up. have 46 grams of whole grains... mmmm. ...and a touch of sweetness. you'll be delighted to discover how good they taste. do about medicare and social security... security. that's what matters to me... me? i've been paying in all these years... years washington's been talking at us, but they never really listen... listen...it's not just some line item on a budget; it's what i'll have to live on... i live on branson street, and i have something to say... [ male announcer ] aarp is bringing the conversation on medicare and social security out from behind closed doors in washington. because you've earned a say. top quality lobster is all we catch. [ male announcer ] don't miss red lobster's lobsterfest. the only time of year you can savor 12 exciting lobster entrees, like lobster lover's dream i'm laura mclennan and i sea food differently. parents of trayvon martin were on capitol hill today. the invitation of house democrats. last month's shooting death is under both state and federal investigation and a newly released police account suggests that it was trayvon who initiated the fight with self appointed neighborhood watch captain grnlg zippeorge zimmerm. the leak has not only made the family furious, but also their supporters in congress. >> i don't know whether it's incompetence or whether it's cover unor all of the above. >> trayvon is the victim of a botched police investigation. full of incompetence or intelligent mismanagement. >> just a bit earlier i had a conversation with angela cory, named as special prosecutor. trayvon's parents are on capitol hill. they're calling this a hate crime. they're demanding an arrest. you have met with them. did you express any concerns that their public statements could complicate your effort to get to the bottom of this, the facts? >> we met with trayvon's parents twice yesterday. i met them for the first time yesterday evening. we pledged our commitment to a search for the truth for them and we have asked that all public statements be limited to the process and not to the facts. >> others have come in, too, whether al sharpton, jesse jackson, members of congress who have come down to florida, on capitol hill, the town i work in in washington. would it be best for those people to stand aside or does this political outcry not complicate your work at all? >> well, no, the political outcry makes our job harder because anytime will isthere is misunderstanding of the process based on what we're require to do, it does make our job more difficult. so we would hope people give us a chance to get this task that the governor has given us accomplished and we think that what they will see in the long run is that this is a complicated law. it's an affirmative defense, justifiable use of deadly force. but we will leave no stone unturned in our quest to seek justice for trayvon, for his parents. >> correspond to the police account, they believe trayvon attacked mr. zimmerman. they believe trayvon banged his head off the ground and that was their encounter. have you seen any evidence that contradicts the police report that's now been put in the public domain? >> that police report should not a been put in the public domain. we have strict rules in florida with regard to when a document becomes a public record and that does not comport with florida that you. we would ask that anyone who had access to these reports please stop putting these out there until it's the appropriate time. that would be when charges are filed and discovery is under way . >> but have you seen anything that contradictses it? >> i can't comment on that because that would an comment on the facts of the case. so i'm so sorry, but i know those are some of the answers people are asking. but we really need our time to finish this investigation. >> do you believe there are are any eyewitness taos this or just those who overheard things? good. >> we believe there may have been one person who saw something, we believe there are a lot of ear witnesses. if anyone knows about this case, complete let us know and we'll made a proper interview occur so that this can become part of the official case file. and the other thing is we need people to remember that florida law may be different from the laws in the other states and it may be handled a little differently than in other areas. >> another thing the family has been upset about in recent days is the release of some information about why their son was suspended from school. is any of that relevant to your investigation? >> well, it's always something we determine, but it may not ever come in front of the trier of fact. so it's very dangerous to put different facts that may or may not become evidence out in front of the public. at the very worst, it can cause a change of venue or it could damage trayvon's reputation when it may not be relevant to what we're doing. so we would ask people to please just filter information to us and we will as sim late that into our case file and make legal use of it. >> let me ask you you lastly, you see the attention this is getting not only in your community, but across the country. and the issues of race have been brought into play. a lot of other questions that tend to divide people. does that in any sense urge you to speed up your time table, do you know when you'll be able to say here's my report, here's what i believe the final facts are? >> my lawyers are on their way back from sanford now and subpoenas i'm finished with will this interview, i plan to staff this case with them and see where we go next.i'm finished w this interview, i plan to staff this case with them and see where we go next. i don't have that answer right now for you. but i'm hoping in the next couple of weeks we'll be able to at least give a formal update to all of you who have been waiting. and thank you for your interest in this this case. >> thanks for your time today. next video from a french gunman's murderous campaign proves too inflammatory for tv news. and later, romney's attempts to make political hey draws a rebuke from the president of russia p. aluminum production in south africa, and the aerospace industry in the u.s.?

(laugh) but proven technologies allow natural gas producers to supply affordable, cleaner energy, while protecting our environment. across america, these technologies protect air - by monitoring air quality and reducing emissions... ...protect water - through conservation and self-contained recycling systems... ... and protect land - by reducing our footprint and respecting wildlife. america's natural gas... domestic, abundant, clean energy to power our lives... that's smarter power today. but don't just listen to me. listen to these happy progressive customers. i plugged in snapshot, and 30 days later, i was saving big on car insurance. i was worried it would be hard to install
