Leslie is rejoined by Ian Millhiser, a Senior Constitutional Policy Analyst at the Center for American Progress and the Editor of ThinkProgress Justice.

Ian explains why today's ruling is more than just a win for Obamacare in the King v Burwell case. Here is an excerpt from his blog on the matter (which he discussed at length during our interview):

"The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in King v. Burwell is not simply a victory for the Obama administration — and for the millions of Americans who depend upon the Affordable Care Act for their health coverage.
It is a sweeping, crushing blow for conservatives who seek to use the courts to undo what President Obama and a Democratic Congress accomplished. “In a democracy,” Chief Justice John Roberts implicitly scolds the activists behind this litigation, “the power to make the law rests with those chosen by the people.”
He then offers a broad statement to future judges called upon to interpret the Affordable Care Act: “Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them. If at all possible, we must interpret the Act in a way that is consistent with the former, and avoids the latter.”"

Ian's writings have appeared in a diversity of legal and mainstream publications, including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, U.S. News & World Report, Slate, the Guardian, the Nation, the American Prospect, the Yale Law and Policy Review and the Duke Law Journal.
