Occupied by Occupy
An update on the Occupy protests, rescuing the Euro, the Supreme Court on Obama's healthcare reform law, and the Super Committee and the deficit reduction deadline.
By Matt Miller • • 29m ListenWe look at the latest news on the nationwide Occupy protests, and ask, are we at the end or the beginning of a political movement? Also, as the European Central Bank is under pressure to rescue the Euro, the financial stability of the continent hangs in the balance. The Supreme Court agreed this week to take up three cases challenging several key elements of President Obama's healthcare reform law. The Court granted five and a half hours of hearing time, a large amount by Supreme Court standards. Finally, can the Congressional budget Super Committee on deficit reduction come through, and will it matter if it doesn't make next week's deadline? (Today's special guests are Matt Continetti and Arianna Huffington.)
