The court struck down a Massachusetts Law creating a 35foot no protest buffer zone on public property surrounding abortion clinics. More on that decision in just a moment. First, more on the ruling that has a direct impact on the white house shs the congress and the struggle over the president ial powers issue. Pamela brown is joining us in washington with more. Unanimous decision, clear setback for the president. It is a unanimous decision. Its being seen as a win for congress, a defeat for the white house. When president obama appointed three people to the National Labor board that it was unconstitutional. Now the president still has a Constitutional Authority to appoint people when congress is many recession, but in this case, the justices saying that senate was many session because of this legislative maneuver that the republicans use. Its called pro forma session. Today the justices basically saying that the senate can write its own rules and therefore they can decide when they are in session and when they are not. And heres what part of the ruling says for purposes of the recess appointments clause, the senate is in session provided under its own rules it contains a capacity to retract senate business. So its somewhat of a narrow ruling in that the president still has the Constitutional Authority to temporarily appoint people when congress is in recess. But this is a little bit different because now the Senate Republicans can say they can be in session year round and not be in recess at all by using this maneuver. As long as they have somebody who gavels 15 seconds a day, they are technically not in recess. Thats what the Supreme Court decided. The white house said they really were effectively in recess and the Supreme Court says the president is wrong, congress is right. Jonathan turly, what did you think of this unanimous decision . I thought it was absolutely correct. I testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee at the time and said i thought they were unconstitutional. It was surprising to me that the administration took the position it did. They were in session technically and the democrats have done the same maneuvers as the republicans did. This it has gone on a long time. Whats very interesting about the opinion is at one point, the court actually says the recess appointment clause is not there for you to work out problems you have with congress. It seemed like a somewhat clear message to the president who says hes going to go it alone and circumvent congress. The court said this isnt that type of clause. The congress is allowed to maneuver away to be in session. And i think what youre going to see in terms of the blow backas this is going to add to the growing chorus about the president s kir coupcircumventi. I was going to let our viewers know the white house says its deeply disappoint want theed in the decision although they were going to honor the decision. I think its worth noting that the president s viewpoint, saying he used his Constitutional Authority, exercised his executive power to put these three people on the National LaborRelations Board because republicans were holding up the nomination and stopping the work of the government. That was the white house argument during all of this. Interesting to note this really could lead to more gridlock because it could hold up nominations going through. I want to play for you what the iowa senator Chuck Grassley was reacting to the decision, not surprisingly, he was pleased. Praise then today to the Supreme Court for forcing the president to confront the errors of his ways and for enforcing the constitutional structure that protects our freedom. And maybe cause him to modify that statement he made earlier this year that when congress wont, i will because i have a pen and a phone. Lets get to another decision that the United StatesSupreme Court decided today. Jonathan, you can weigh in on this first. They ruled that a Massachusetts Law that effectively allowed a 35foot barrier at abortion clinics to where people could go protest saying that was unconstitutional, that barrier, citing with free speech, if you will. Once again, a unanimous decision by the Supreme Court. We have seen a series of unanimous decisions from a divided court. It does reflect how outside the lines these laws are. The law was criticized by many in the free Speech Community as being way outside the lines. The Supreme Court a few years ago approved a buffer zone, but the massachusetts legislators went further and extended this beyond 30 feet. In doing so, they lost even their usual supporters like Justice Kagan who says this is a lot of space for a nospeech zone. But whats interesting about the opinion is that four of the justices were ready to basically blow away the concept of a buffer zone when it comes to speech. It was roberts that actually rescued the left of the court from that result. If it hadnt been for roberts, there would have been a really blazing free speech ruling that curtailed the use of buffer zones. People like kennedy have been critical of treating speech as something you could prohibit. So effectively, unanimously, all nine justices today siding with these antiabortion protesters who didnt like this Massachusetts Law. That law is unconstitutional. Thank you very much. Lets move on to some other news were following including the hunt for flight 370. New developments today, flight 370 investigation officially shifting south into the uncharted depths of the indian ocean. The new zone unveiled by officials is pegged on new Data Analysis that makes assumptions about why it vanished more than three months ago with 239 people on board. Joining us is our aviation correspondent richard quest. Its the likelihood they suffered oxygen loss. What could have caused that . What the report basically says and its the first you and i have talked about this so many times. This is a 60page report. Its the first fulllength report that we have had into the incident. Its exactly the sort of report you would expect to get from Something Like the ntsb. Now what it says is that the characteristics of the flight, the distance that it flew, the way that it was flying, the length down to the seventh handshake all suggest the plane was being flown on autopilot. Only then would it have been able to get the plane to the range of endurance and put it down to the level at which it was where they believe it went down. They believe the plane was flying for an autopilot. Once it ran out of gas, it could have continued on for at least another 100 miles or so. Is that also part of the conclusion . What they are saying is they have now narrowed down the area looking at the existing data and bringing the search area back. They have taken to the original seventh handshake where they believe the plane lost fuel or the plane ran out of fuel. And also, wolf, they then give a variety of scenarios. The length at which it would have glided, what power would have been needed, the range it could have flied. What they are not saying and they talk about the various scenarios, you talk about oxygen deprivati deprivation, but they are not saying what they believe the cause was. We should be encouraged, this is exactly the sort of detailed investigation they said they were going to have to do when they failed to find it through the erroneous pings. They have gone back to square one. They have looked at every bit of data and had independent teams from the u. S. , the uk, australia, all working on the same data and all come up to this new area. The downside, wolf, unfortunately, this new area is vast. To put it in perspective, the old area was 850,000 square kilometers. They have a huge search ahead of them. Richard, hold on for a moment. Our aviation analyst is with us. You have gone through this report. Peter, whats your bottom line take . Richard hit it on the head. This is a report that could have come out months ago. It gives us some real information that we have speculated about, but now confirms it. I think as richard indicated, give them three scenarios. One where the plane from the last primary radar head straight to the south, two separate ones where it swings out around the island and then goes south. And that gives you that area the size of West Virginia to search. What could have caused oxygen to go away for everyone on that plane including the crew . Its still not clear whether it was an accident or done deliberately. In any case there are valves that could have malfunctioned. Doors might not have sealed properly, but there would have been alerts given inside the cockpit. We cant ignore somebody turned off the transponder. Thats still two facts hanging out there that says that this is a human event. Not a catastrophic mechanical failure. Thank you both very much. New information coming in.

Iraqs Prime Minister says he didnt ask for syrias help, but hell take it. Heres the latest. Prime minister maliki telling the bbc he welcomes syrian air strikes. They targeted positions on the syrian side of the border, but local Authorities Say they also struck inside iraq and killed at least 50 iraqi civilians. Many of them women and children and injured many, many others. Syria denies that. Also today iraq issued a decree for parliament to begin to form a new dpoft. The Prime Minister vowing to stick to that timetable. Secretary of state john kerry calls this an encouraging move. Britains president arrived calling for a swift new government. And syria certainly complicating this very complex and dangerous iraq complex. And the reports of syrian air strikes inside iraq raising the stakes even higher. Lets bring in jim sciutto, just back traveling with the secretary of state in the region. Went to iraq twice on that visit. Whats your assessment now with iran getting involved directly in iraq. Syria getting involved directly in iraq. The u. S. Sending up to 350 military advisers. It shows this is not just an iraq problem. Its a regional problem, its a global problem. By definition it is because isis has a presence in two countries, syria and iraq, but also threatening those countries bordering. Jordan is concerned. Certainly iran is concerned and very interested in iraqs future. The question for the u. S. As it continues to consider what its next step is, is it willing to let syria and iran fill the vacuum while the u. S. Decides what to do mexico. Iraqis have been asking for u. S. Air strikes for weeks now. The u. S. Still hasnt taken that step. Dont bomb until you know that bombing is going to have a positive effect on the ground. Syria filling that void. The iranians sending weapons and equipment in as well. The others are filling that void even as the u. S. Decides. Syria filling that void but killing innocent civilians in the process deeply angering iraqis as a result. The Prime Minister defending the syrian air force. It underscores the complexity of air strikes. If u. S. Were to launch air strikes a lot of the isis forces in the middle of populated areas. That was one of the big negatives. We heard this from officials. Air strikes sound like a neat option. 10,000 feet above the ground, troops out of the way. But civilian casualties will exist. If the obama administrations point of view dont fundamentally change the course of battle, they are good to go after individuals, but not to change the course of battle when you dont have intelligence. Thats what the 300 advisers are intended to do. When u. S. Troops pulled out in 2011, we have a major deficit in terms of intelligence. Do they really believe, you were there traveling with the secretary of state john kerry, getting a sense, do they really believe 300 u. S. Military advisers are going to make much of a difference . Short answer is no. Is it a definitive difference, no. Traveling with the state Department Officials is this is an administration not in in rush to get involved militarily. They will take their time and be measured about costs and benefits, this kind of thing. Even as the syrians and iranians perhaps are more forward leaning, thats not going to change the administration. They dont have much confidence in maliki, do they . They dont. They wont say that publicly. Secretary of state john kerry did say that the u. S. Is not in the business of choosing or advocating for particular candidates, maliki included. That said, he made it very clear that its the u. S. Priority to have an inclusive government. U. S. Officials are not particularly confident in maliki being the man to do that, but its up to iraqis. Well see you at 4 00 p. M. Youre filling in for jake taper. Thats right. Jim sciutto, thank you. Iraqis fleeing the isis insurgency joining the 2 million civilians who have fled the civil war. How can you help this massive cris crisis . Uneasy partners. Will the u. S. Partner with iran . Well get an experts opinion.
