Leo Gerard, International President-United Steelworkers, joins Thom Hartmann. Yesterday - the New York Transport Workers Union - which last week pledged support for the Occupy Wall Street movement - went to court to block New York City and the NYPD from forcing bus drivers to transport arrested Wall Street protestors. After police rounded up and arrested 700 peaceful demonstrators on the Brooklyn Bridge over the weekend - the NYPD ordered unionized bus drivers to haul off the demonstrators. Now - the Transport Workers Union is going to court to make sure that doesn't happen again. This week - other unions are expected to join the Occupy Wall Street movement - swelling the number of demonstrators in Manhattan's Zuccotti Park to its highest numbers yet. So it looks like - with the support of major labor unions - the Occupy Wall Street movement has some teeth. Thom also talks to Leo Gerard about worker cooperatives and - have we reached a tipping point of capitalism?

Once upon a time a right wing think tank supported Obamacare...and now they don't! In tonight's Daily Take, proof that the Heritage Foundation is INDEED a flip-flopper when it comes to healthcare in America! Is the only reason why the Heritage Foundation switched from creating the individual mandate to now claiming it's UNCONSTITUTIONAL is because Barack Obama decided to take their policy advice?

Brian Siebel, Alliance For Justice joins Thom Hartmann. Today marks the start of the Supreme Court's new session - and on the dockett this year are over 50 cases that could have sweeping effects on life in America. From now til' June of next year - the high court is expected to rule on issues concerning police tracking suspects' vehicles with secret GPS devices - affirmative action - far-right immigration laws - to even nudity on television. Of course - the biggest showdown - what some are calling the elephant in the room this session - will be a ruling expected next year on the constitutionality of President Obama's Affordable Care Act. Put all this in front of a backdrop of a 2012 election season - then this could be one of the most significant Supreme Court sessions in the history of this nation. So will our nation's highest court respect precedent - or turn to activism?

The Good. California Governor Jerry Brown, "I am signing SB 769 which allows for a dead mountain lion to be stuffed and displayed. This presumably important bill earned overwhelming support by both Republicans and Democrats. If only that same energetic bipartisan spirit could be applied to creating clean energy jobs and ending tax laws that send jobs out of state." The Bad. Rick "Don't Google My Name" Santorum. The Republican presidential hopeful is still catching flak for not condemning the audience boos toward a gay US soldier at the last Republican debate. The very very Ugly. Hank Williams, Jr. The country musician famous for singing the opening to Monday Night Football - went on Fox and Friends this morning - and it took him only one minute to compare President Obama to Hitler.
