The law's constitutionality.

Joining us right now from California today with Jake Fox News legal analyst Peter Johnson junior Peter today's all about them anyway date.

What are you gonna be looking for from a legal perspective to listen to see who's got the upper hand.

For the league.

-- -- we're gonna hear arguments by the government that this is a lawful.

Use of the commerce clause of the constitution.

Meaning that the United States government can regulate commerce.

The opponents obamacare say the exact opposite that this is not about commerce that this is about regulating -- activity.

That this is forcing regular Americans.

Thirty million more Americans to enter into a contract.

With an insurance company to purchase insurance and the first time ever.

That the United States government has demanded that an American buy a product.

Or by -- service and they say.

It's unconstitutional.

It's a violation of the commerce clause it's a violation the necessary proper clause and so most Americans are against Obama care.

And they're saying today.

This is the people support.

At the United States Supreme Court.

And for all the talk that we hear about the constitution.

From pundits like me from other Americans today is the actual day with a constitution means something.

And we will hear robust argument on both sides.

As to whether or not the individual mandate is in fact constantly know 47% of the country's disapprove of Obama care and 67% believe there ought to mandate repealed to Peter.

This is not really gonna be decided by the arguments going to be Scott and political grounds are US cynical to say.

Now senator Specter should know better and experience to turn the experienced DA I don't believe it's political and I don't believe that it should be political.

These -- the people who with whom we have confidence in the United States.

We have lost many of us lost count that confidence institutional in the white house press and in congress.

The Supreme Court just recently showed on the religious liberty issue.

Unanimously.

That they intend uphold the constitution.
