Greg Corombos and Jim Geraghty of National Review like the push to expedite the court fight over Obamacare to the Supreme Court and wonder why Obama is saying almost nothing about Egypt and have fun with Sen. Jon Tester ripping his opponent over who is supporting his campaign.

First Obamacare Brick to Fall
On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate failed to repeal the entire health care plan that Democrats in Congress approved last year. But in a separate vote, 81 senators voted to repeal a provision in the laws that force small business owners to fill out much more paperwork for the IRS than they ever did before. Why did this pass so easily now since Democrats killed efforts to repeal it late last year? Will it pass easily in the House or get hung up on procedural issues? What other provisions of the health plan might be ripe for bipartisan repeal? We ask Nebraska Sen. Mike Johanns, sponsor of the effort to repeal the 1099 provision in the U.S. Senate.
Planned Parenthood Exposed Again
In recent days, the pro-life student organization Live Action has released undercover videos showing activists at Planned Parenthood clinics while posing as a pimp and prostitute in the sex trafficking business. The videos reveal Planned Parenthood workers in New Jersey and Virginia offering advice to the “sex workers” on how to get birth control for girls as young as 14 and avoid parental consent laws for abortions for girls of the same age. What else did the videos show? What is Live Action asking officials in Virginia, New Jersey and in the U.S. Congress to do? What does Planned Parenthood say in response? What does Live Action say in reply to those explanations? And will more undercover videos be released? We discuss it all with Lila Rose, president of Live Action.. You can watch the undercover videos at liveaction.org.
