North Carolina Reacts To The Supreme Court Ruling On Health Reform
The President's health care law survived a crucial test in the Supreme Court today. But, experts say the political fight isn't finished.
Asma Khalid: The Supreme Court voted 5-to-4 to uphold most of the Affordable Care Act. That surprised Karen Duqette. She works at the Republican-leaning Civitas Institute.
Karen Duqette: I think this decision is going to have a major impact on rallying conservatives.
