    The US Supreme Court is about to decide if President Obama's healthcare reform is or is not constitutional. Will liberals and conservatives split 4-to-4 and let Justice Anthony Kennedy make the call? Will public opinion, the court's role in politics and their own legacies influence how the justices make up their minds? Also, Russia supplies weapons to Syria as it edges closer to civil war, and Mitt Romney's flip-flop on global warming.
