Health Care and the Supreme Court: 
What will the decision say about constitutional resilience?

This is an excerpt from the Future Tense "Resilience" event.  In it, Emily Bazelon asks Professor Garrett Epps to discuss the Supreme Court's upcoming decision on Health Care.

The ability to bounce back, to absorb shocks, to persevere, to retain functionality over time, to endure, to adapt, to succeed, to survive, to sustain... so many verbs are conjured up by the term "resilience." Whether we're talking about our bodies, our minds, our communities, our institutions or our natural environment, the R-word provides a conceptual framework for designing a better tomorrow. Please join us for a wide-ranging inquiry on what it means to be resilient and what a resilient future could look like.
