CBS News Discord at the Supreme Court is deep and personal after Chief Justice John Roberts surprise decision to side with the libe stanley mug ral justices in upholding a large portion of the president s health care plan.

A federal judge on stanley cups Tuesday gave the Justice Department one day to explain why por stanley flask tions of the remaining 3,700 emails from Hillary Clinton s time as secretary of state can t be produced by Feb. 18.U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras also gave the government until Friday to provide a detailed explanation of how the roughly 7,000 pages of emails were overlooked and not sent for interagency consultation earlier. The government now has until the end of the month to release them. The State Department was ordered in May to release Clinton s emails from her tenure as secretary of state in May, and the State Department has been releasing a batch each month since June. They were to be finished by Jan. 29 but failed to meet the deadline, in part because of the 7,000 emails that were overlooked. Contreras oversees one of the many FOIA lawsuits that were filed to obtain Clinton s emails, and the Justice Department represents the State Department in these lawsuits.

The dialogue in the race for the presidency has revolved almost exclusively around education, taxes, Social Security and Medicare. But in the end, the outcome of the race could be determined by foreign affairs beyond the control of Al Gore and George W.

The House has voted to repeal the health insurance industry s exemption from federal antitrust laws, giving Democrats an easy win on health care a day ahead of President Barack Obama s bipartisan health summit.The vote was 406-19, with most Republicans siding with majority Democrats against a widely unpopular industry which has been under attack by Democrats and consumer advocates for recent rate hikes.Republican lawmakers complained, though, that the legislation passed Wednesday was largely symbolic and would have little real impact since states already regulate health insurers. Independent experts largely share that view. Democrats, however, contended that the bill would help consumers by increasing competition.Prospects are dim in the Senate.

President Biden leveled an extraordinary charge against Facebook and other social media platforms on Fri stanley cup day, claiming they are killing people by allowing coronavirus misinformation to spread. The accusation comes as health officials are voicing concern over rising cases of the virus and stalling vaccination rates. They re killing people. I mean it, really.
