When it's structured this way and wee northeast need to find it. >> we're going to come back to this, but i have to tell you, there's another major case now, another major ruling decision that's coming in from the supreme court. it's not just obamacare. it's probably the second most watched case of this entire term, and it was on religious freedom, looking at lgbtq rights. the question out of this case was is there a religious exemption to laws against discrimination? we're going to talk about obamacare in a minute, but, again, break news out of the supreme court. >> this is a unanimous decisi...

>> the supreme court took on the case. what's the decision? >> for the third time the u.s. supreme court has spared obamacare from challenges, this time from a group of red states who said the institutional mandate was unconstitutional and could not be upheld as a legitimate taxing authority because congress had later set that tax penalty if you didn't buy that insurance at zero. today in a 7-2 decision the supreme court said the states who challenged it didn't have the legal standing to bring this case. in other words, they've thrown the case out without ruling on the underlying issue. they b...
