The Supreme Court retained President Obama’s health care overhaul. Congressional opponents of the law plan a House vote on repeal as early as two weeks from now.

Truthdig’s Robert Scheer is joined by NPR correspondent Mike Pesca, who replaces the vacationing Matt Miller, and John Eastman, law professor, former dean of Chapman University Law School and former law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who joins the show from the right.
