WATTERS In the Personal ░░░░░░░░ Segment tonight two hot ░░░░░░░░ The Supreme Court handed ░░░░░░░░ a major victory for ░░░░░░░░ today and the President ░░░░░░░░ scolds a heckler at ░░░░░░░░ White House You may ░░░░░░░░ surprised about who is ░░░░░░░░ the heckling Here now ░░░░░░░░ Dana Perino So first ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court decision President ░░░░░░░░ had a victory lap ░░░░░░░░ Take a listen clip ░░░░░░░░ OBAMA Today after more ░░░░░░░░ 50 votes in Congress ░░░░░░░░ repeal or weaken this ░░░░░░░░ after a presidential election ░░░░░░░░ in part on preserving ░░░░░░░░ repealing this law after ░░░░░░░░ challenges to this law ░░░░░░░░ the Supreme Court the ░░░░░░░░ Care Act is here ░░░░░░░░ stay clip ends WATTERS ░░░░░░░░ the law is written ░░░░░░░░ say that these states ░░░░░░░░ to create these exchanges ░░░░░░░░ if they don t ░░░░░░░░ don t get the ░░░░░░░░ subsidies PERINO Right WATTERS ░░░░░░░░ Scalia was fuming in ░░░░░░░░ dissent And he said ░░░░░░░░ words mean something You ░░░░░░░░ t just change the ░░░░░░░░ of words I mean ░░░░░░░░ now I guess you ░░░░░░░░ be a white person ░░░░░░░░ can say you re ░░░░░░░░ these days and men ░░░░░░░░ men can get married ░░░░░░░░ everything is crazy But ░░░░░░░░ s the point that ░░░░░░░░ Roberts has twice done ░░░░░░░░ gymnastics here and saved ░░░░░░░░ law out of thin ░░░░░░░░ PERINO So if you ░░░░░░░░ a strict constitutionalist you ░░░░░░░░ Scalia s dissent and ░░░░░░░░ think I agree with ░░░░░░░░ that he is saying ░░░░░░░░ WATTERS Right PERINO And ░░░░░░░░ would be me But ░░░░░░░░ s the thing This ░░░░░░░░ the reality OK So ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court has ruled ░░░░░░░░ ve ruled twice on ░░░░░░░░ President Obama in the ░░░░░░░░ Garden today was feeling ░░░░░░░░ oats and he has ░░░░░░░░ right to OK So ░░░░░░░░ s taken the victory ░░░░░░░░ Now to the victor ░░░░░░░░ the spoils and the ░░░░░░░░ of us have to ░░░░░░░░ with Obamacare The thing ░░░░░░░░ Republicans going forward is ░░░░░░░░ they have spent the ░░░░░░░░ six months preparing for ░░░░░░░░ because they didn t ░░░░░░░░ what was going to ░░░░░░░░ They were either going ░░░░░░░░ lose and then have ░░░░░░░░ figure out a way ░░░░░░░░ with that coming up ░░░░░░░░ the 2016 election or ░░░░░░░░ and then have to ░░░░░░░░ with it immediately I ░░░░░░░░ there is good news ░░░░░░░░ Republicans here They spent ░░░░░░░░ this time that means ░░░░░░░░ are much more educated ░░░░░░░░ much more prepared so ░░░░░░░░ in their individual campaigns ░░░░░░░░ they start to think ░░░░░░░░ how they might try ░░░░░░░░ repeal and replace if ░░░░░░░░ s what they decide ░░░░░░░░ try to do they ░░░░░░░░ much more educated WATTERS ░░░░░░░░ And you know secretly ░░░░░░░░ re hearing from Republicans ░░░░░░░░ the Senate that are ░░░░░░░░ breathing a sigh of ░░░░░░░░ that this happened Because ░░░░░░░░ were going to get ░░░░░░░░ for it It was ░░░░░░░░ to be chaos There ░░░░░░░░ going to be a ░░░░░░░░ catastrophe No one has ░░░░░░░░ It s crazy Let ░░░░░░░░ get back to Roberts ░░░░░░░░ a second OK This ░░░░░░░░ a GW pick Perino ░░░░░░░░ I remember it well ░░░░░░░░ I mean this is ░░░░░░░░ twice that this guy ░░░░░░░░ gone against conservatives in ░░░░░░░░ decisions Is there any ░░░░░░░░ going on out of ░░░░░░░░ W camp right now ░░░░░░░░ you think PERINO Well ░░░░░░░░ couple of things You ░░░░░░░░ fun fact I was ░░░░░░░░ spokesperson for John Roberts ░░░░░░░░ Justice Alito when they ░░░░░░░░ going through their confirmation ░░░░░░░░ I got to know ░░░░░░░░ very well I would ░░░░░░░░ almost universally John Roberts ░░░░░░░░ considered the very best ░░░░░░░░ that George W Bush ░░░░░░░░ have gone with In ░░░░░░░░ in the legacy interviews ░░░░░░░░ the way out the ░░░░░░░░ people talking about George ░░░░░░░░ Bush would say John ░░░░░░░░ that was the best ░░░░░░░░ of his presidency Now ░░░░░░░░ are some conservatives today ░░░░░░░░ are really mad and ░░░░░░░░ t believe that WATTERS ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ that anymore PERINO Now ░░░░░░░░ re mad about they ░░░░░░░░ really mad about healthcare ░░░░░░░░ there are other decisions ░░░░░░░░ Roberts has made that ░░░░░░░░ would say he is ░░░░░░░░ guy But yes there ░░░░░░░░ widespread disappointment by some ░░░░░░░░ which is why while ░░░░░░░░ Republicans might say thank ░░░░░░░░ we didn t have ░░░░░░░░ deal with this actually ░░░░░░░░ can move on now ░░░░░░░░ actually think it cuts ░░░░░░░░ way Conservatives are demoralized ░░░░░░░░ this decision They are ░░░░░░░░ They don t believe ░░░░░░░░ this is actually ever ░░░░░░░░ to be repealed and ░░░░░░░░ could be right WATTERS ░░░░░░░░ you know who is ░░░░░░░░ right now Gruber Remember ░░░░░░░░ was the one that ░░░░░░░░ this language in and ░░░░░░░░ went out and embarrassed ░░░░░░░░ entire administration saying the ░░░░░░░░ is stupid We got ░░░░░░░░ passed in the dark ░░░░░░░░ you imagine if this ░░░░░░░░ gone the other way ░░░░░░░░ probably would fear for ░░░░░░░░ life PERINO And another ░░░░░░░░ if you want to ░░░░░░░░ at it from a ░░░░░░░░ purely political standpoint leading ░░░░░░░░ to the campaign Hillary ░░░░░░░░ now is having to ░░░░░░░░ closer to Barack Obama ░░░░░░░░ Obamacare which is the ░░░░░░░░ most unpopular law in ░░░░░░░░ generation.”
