the court struck down a massachusetts law creating a 35-foot no protest buffer zone on public property surrounding abortion clinics. more on that decision in just a moment. first, more on the ruling that has a direct impact on the white house shs the congress and the struggle over the presidential powers issue. pamela brown is joining us in washington with more. unanimous decision, clear setback for the president. >> it is a unanimous decision. it's being seen as a win for congress, a defeat for the white house. when president obama appointed three people to the national labor board that it was unconstitutional. now the president still has a constitutional authority to appoint people when congress is many recession, but in this case, the justices saying that senate was many session because of this legislative maneuver that the republicans use. it's called pro forma session. today the justices basically saying that the senate can write

its own rules and therefore they can decide when they are in session and when they are not. and here's what part of the ruling says for purposes of the recess appointments clause, the senate is in session provided under its own rules it contains a capacity to retract senate business. so it's somewhat of a narrow ruling in that the president still has the constitutional authority to temporarily appoint people when congress is in recess. but this is a little bit different because now the senate republicans can say they can be in session year round and not be in recess at all by using this maneuver. >> as long as they have somebody who gavels 15 seconds a day, they are technically not in recess. that's what the supreme court decided. the white house said they really were effectively in recess and the supreme court says the president is wrong, congress is

right. jonathan turly, what did you think of this unanimous decision? >> i thought it was absolutely correct. i testified in front of the house judiciary committee at the time and said i thought they were unconstitutional. it was surprising to me that the administration took the position it did. they were in session technically and the democrats have done the same maneuvers as the republicans did. this it has gone on a long time. what's very interesting about the opinion is at one point, the court actually says the recess appointment clause is not there for you to work out problems you have with congress. it seemed like a somewhat clear message to the president who says he's going to go it alone and circumvent congress. the court said this isn't that type of clause. the congress is allowed to maneuver away to be in session. and i think what you're going to see in terms of the blow backas

this is going to add to the growing chorus about the president's kir coupcircumventi. >> i was going to let our viewers know the white house says it's deeply disappoint want theed in the decision although they were going to honor the decision. >> i think it's worth noting that the president's viewpoint, saying he used his constitutional authority, exercised his executive power to put these three people on the national labor relations board because republicans were holding up the nomination and stopping the work of the government. that was the white house argument during all of this. interesting to note this really could lead to more gridlock because it could hold up nominations going through. >> i want to play for you what the iowa senator chuck grassley

was reacting to the decision, not surprisingly, he was pleased. >> praise then today to the supreme court for forcing the president to confront the errors of his ways and for enforcing the constitutional structure that protects our freedom. and maybe cause him to modify that statement he made earlier this year that when congress won't, i will because i have a pen and a phone. >> let's get to another decision that the united states supreme court decided today. jonathan, you can weigh in on this first. they ruled that a massachusetts law that effectively allowed a 35-foot barrier at abortion clinics to where people could go protest saying that was unconstitutional, that barrier, citing with free speech, if you will. once again, a unanimous decision

by the supreme court. >> we have seen a series of unanimous decisions from a divided court. it does reflect how outside the lines these laws are. the law was criticized by many in the free speech community as being way outside the lines. the supreme court a few years ago approved a buffer zone, but the massachusetts legislators went further and extended this beyond 30 feet. in doing so, they lost even their usual supporters like justice kagan who says this is a lot of space for a no-speech zone. but what's interesting about the opinion is that four of the justices were ready to basically blow away the concept of a buffer zone when it comes to speech. it was roberts that actually rescued the left of the court from that result. if it hadn't been for roberts, there would have been a really blazing free speech ruling that curtailed the use of buffer zones. people like kennedy have been critical of treating speech as

something you could prohibit. >> so effectively, unanimously, all nine justices today siding with these anti-abortion protesters who didn't like this massachusetts law. that law is unconstitutional. thank you very much. let's move on to some other news we're following including the hunt for flight 370. new developments today, flight 370 investigation officially shifting south into the uncharted depths of the indian ocean. the new zone unveiled by officials is pegged on new data analysis that makes assumptions about why it vanished more than three months ago with 239 people on board. joining us is our aviation correspondent richard quest. it's the likelihood they suffered oxygen loss. what could have caused that? >> what the report basically says and it's the first -- you

and i have talked about this so many times. this is a 60-page report. it's the first full-length report that we have had into the incident. it's exactly the sort of report you would expect to get from something like the ntsb. now what it says is that the characteristics of the flight, the distance that it flew, the way that it was flying, the length down to the seventh handshake all suggest the plane was being flown on autopilot. only then would it have been able to get the plane to the range of endurance and put it down to the level at which it was -- where they believe it went down. >> they believe the plane was flying for an autopilot. once it ran out of gas, it could have continued on for at least another 100 miles or so. is that also part of the conclusion? >> what they are saying is they have now narrowed down the area

looking at the existing data and bringing the search area back. they have taken to the original seventh handshake where they believe the plane lost fuel or the plane ran out of fuel. and also, wolf, they then give a variety of scenarios. the length at which it would have glided, what power would have been needed, the range it could have flied. what they are not saying and they talk about the various scenarios, you talk about oxygen deprivati deprivation, but they are not saying what they believe the cause was. we should be encouraged, this is exactly the sort of detailed investigation they said they were going to have to do when they failed to find it through the erroneous pings. they have gone back to square one. they have looked at every bit of data and had independent teams from the u.s., the uk, australia, all working on the same data and all come up to

this new area. the downside, wolf, unfortunately, this new area is vast. to put it in perspective, the old area was 850,000 square kilometers. >> they have a huge search ahead of them. richard, hold on for a moment. our aviation analyst is with us. you have gone through this report. peter, what's your bottom line take? >> richard hit it on the head. this is a report that could have come out months ago. it gives us some real information that we have speculated about, but now confirms it. i think as richard indicated, give them three scenarios. one where the plane from the last primary radar head straight to the south, two separate ones where it swings out around the island and then goes south. and that gives you that area the

size of west virginia to search. >> what could have caused oxygen to go away for everyone on that plane including the crew? >> it's still not clear whether it was an accident or done deliberately. in any case there are valves that could have malfunctioned. doors might not have sealed properly, but there would have been alerts given inside the cockpit. we can't ignore somebody turned off the transponder. that's still two facts hanging out there that says that this is a human event. >> not a catastrophic mechanical failure. thank you both very much. new information coming in. we'll continue to monitor that. other news we're following, a party divided. conservative activists are howling over a victory. thad cochran expanded the

local authorities say they also struck inside iraq and killed at least 50 iraqi civilians. many of them women and children and injured many, many others. syria denies that. also today iraq issued a decree for parliament to begin to form a new dpoft. the prime minister vowing to stick to that timetable. secretary of state john kerry calls this an encouraging move. britain's president arrived calling for a swift new government. and syria certainly complicating this very complex and dangerous iraq complex. and the reports of syrian air strikes inside iraq raising the stakes even higher. let's bring in jim sciutto, just back traveling with the secretary of state in the region. went to iraq twice on that visit. what's your assessment now with iran getting involved directly in iraq. syria getting involved directly

in iraq. the u.s. sending up to 350 military advisers. >> it shows this is not just an iraq problem. it's a regional problem, it's a global problem. by definition it is because isis has a presence in two countries, syria and iraq, but also threatening those countries bordering. jordan is concerned. certainly iran is concerned and very interested in iraq's future. the question for the u.s. as it continues to consider what its next step is, is it willing to let syria and iran fill the vacuum while the u.s. decides what to do mexico. iraqis have been asking for u.s. air strikes for weeks now. the u.s. still hasn't taken that step. don't bomb until you know that bombing is going to have a positive effect on the ground. syria filling that void. the iranians sending weapons and equipment in as well. the others are filling that void

even as the u.s. decides. >> syria filling that void but killing innocent civilians in the process deeply angering iraqis as a result. the prime minister defending the syrian air force. it underscores the complexity of air strikes. if u.s. were to launch air strikes a lot of the isis forces in the middle of populated areas. >> that was one of the big negatives. we heard this from officials. air strikes sound like a neat option. 10,000 feet above the ground, troops out of the way. but civilian casualties will exist. if the obama administration's point of view don't fundamentally change the course of battle, they are good to go after individuals, but not to change the course of battle when you don't have intelligence. that's what the 300 advisers are intended to do. when u.s. troops pulled out in 2011, we have a major deficit in terms of intelligence.

>> do they really believe, you were there traveling with the secretary of state john kerry, getting a sense, do they really believe 300 u.s. military advisers are going to make much of a difference? >> short answer is no. is it a definitive difference, no. traveling with the state department officials is this is an administration not in in rush to get involved militarily. they will take their time and be measured about costs and benefits, this kind of thing. even as the syrians and iranians perhaps are more forward leaning, that's not going to change the administration. >> they don't have much confidence in maliki, do they? >> they don't. they won't say that publicly. secretary of state john kerry did say that the u.s. is not in the business of choosing or advocating for particular candidates, maliki included. that said, he made it very clear that it's the u.s. priority to have an inclusive government. u.s. officials are not particularly confident in maliki

being the man to do that, but it's up to iraqis. >> we'll see you at 4:00 p.m. you're filling in for jake taper. >> that's right. >> jim sciutto, thank you. iraqis fleeing the isis insurgency joining the 2 million civilians who have fled the civil war. how can you help this massive cris crisis? uneasy partners. will the u.s. partner with iran? we'll get an expert's opinion. and a southern gentleman reaches across the aisle to try to win his party primary, but some are furious with thad cochran. that's next.

conservatives especially some conservative radio talk show hosts fuming. let's discuss with michael. so why are these guys so angry? what's the big complaint about the thad cochran win? he's a conservative and he is a long-time republican. >> i think that they are placating their respective bases. some of the cable television prepresepr presenters are giving what they want to hear. not really in substantiative plt call issues. their interests don't align with the republican party. they exist for one purpose and that is to win elections. i went back and took a look at that autopsy.

the 100-page document from a year ago where the gop tried to figure out why obama had had won so decisively. one of the points made is that they need to expand participation in primaries. that's what they did in mississippi on tuesday. i think it's in the best interest of the party and frankly they ought to figure out how to replicate that going forward. >> as far as the gop is concerned, certainly the republicans have a much better chance of holding on to that seat in mississippi with thad cochran than they might have had with mcdaniel. it would have been a closer race presumably. we have seen evidence over the years of tea party republican challengers beating incumbent establishment gop incumbents, but then going on to lose in the general election. >> o'donnell, aiken, murdoch, it's a long list of individuals that potentially mcdaniel's name could have been added to that list. i agree with your assessment. in all likelihood the gop would

have held the seat, but now it's a virtual certainty they will hold the seat unless interestingly, these tea party folks should decide they are so fed up with the gop they are going to sit out the general election. that's the calculous that a party needs to go through, which is different from the calculous of the radio hosts. >> i think the democrats have to make a decision now. will they go ahead and actually get involved and help that democratic senatorial candidate in mississippi? and put some money in there, really get involved in that campaign. i'm sure they would have done it if mcdaniel would have been the nominee. with thad cochran, i'm not sure they are going to get much help from national democrats. they are going to put their money elsewhere. >> i think that childress is probably the person who was most displeased apart from mcdaniel

on tuesday night. he probably perceived his opportunity to win as facing the tea party candidate. one other observation, if people are watching this from the sidelines, it would be easy to conclude that thad cochran must be an awfully liberal member of the senate for these conservatives to be so upset. i pulled his most recent rating from the american conservative union. he had an 88% voting record. 9 out of 10 times he's giving conservatives what they are looking for. 100% rating from the right to life coalition. 67% lifetime from the club for growth. so he's not exactly a far left character, and you might think that if you were watching this it battle play out. >> so how angry or disappointed is conservative talk radio right now that their guy, mcdaniel, didn't win? >> i think that they probably were relishing the victory they had with eric cantor's defeat.

i hate to say it because it's what i plooef. i don't think their interest is the same as the gop. their interest is one of droif driving the ratings of a loyal constituency without an eye toward weather they want to win the thing ultimately. the republican party can't have that kind of focus. the republican party doesn't exist to be an ideological vessel. the gop, like the democratic party s there for one purpose and that's to win elections. >> thanks very much for joining us. i want to remind our viewers, your show airs saturday mornings at 9:00 a.m. eastern here on cnn. just ahead this hour, hillary clinton and jeb bush, possible contenders for 2016. we'll take a closer look at how family legacy might affect their political policies. also ahead, the irs official at the center of the scandal over targeting tea party groups

welcome back. i'm wolf blitzer reporting from washington. this just coming into cnn. senator howard baker, a long-time legend in the senate, has passed away at the age of 88. mitch mcconnell, the senate republican leader, just issuing

a statement. it is with great sadness i announce the passing of senator howard baker. the senate sends its sincere condolences to the family of senator baker. a lot of us remember senator baker. many years after leaving the senate, he was the white house chief of staff to ronald reagan. had a distinguished career. he was the vice chair of the senate select committee presidential campaign also known as the watergate committee. let's get some thoughts on howard baker. he was a legendary towering figure in washington. >> he was oneover the great leaders of the united states senate. i had the opportunity to cover him when he was in the senate. i also covered his presidential campaign in 1980, which lasted about five minutes. but he was one of those senators who could walk across the aisle, could cut deals, was respected on both sides of the aisle.

he was -- some called him the great conciliator. today that would be taken as something negative, but back when he was leading the senate, it was a very positive thing. he also went on to become our ambassador to japan and serve in a distinguished way. so a great man from tennessee and a great career. >> and ron, some of us who are old enough remember the watergate hearings. he was the vice chairman of those hearings. he uttered those famous words. there's a republican president in the white house, he's a republican leader in the senate, what did the president know and when did he know it? historic words eventually leading to the forced resignation of president nixon. >> for a figure who was slight in stature, he was towering, that adjective is well deserved. he was one of our last links where the senate saw itself as a place to mediate differences in

society. his role in the watergate committee ensuring that it would be a truly bipartisan investigation, helped prevent watergate from tearing apart the country. he continued that kind of role both in the senate and as chief of staff to ronald reagan. he helped the senate and the congress do what it has done for history, which is find a bridge between the differing points of view in the country. it's a vision in the senate that's almost completely gone. >> howard baker, former senator, passing away. our deepest condone lenses to his entire family. let's take a quick break and get back to political news right after this. listen up, thunder d, it's time to get a hotel. hey, razor. check this out. we can save big with priceline express deals. hey you know what man, these guys aint no dragons. they're cool. these deals are legit. yeah, we're cool. she's cool. we're cool. priceline express deals are totally legit. check this, thousands of people book them everyday and score killer deals. now, priceline is piling on even more savings

e-mails suggest lois lerner pushed to audit a republican senator. chuck grassley was invited to speak at a seminar. lerner found out organizers were offereding to pay for his wife to attend. let's discuss. our cnn panel is joining us. what do you make of this new evidence, so-called political targeting? >> my question is, didn't she have something better to do, wolf? either this was malice, it was pettiness, it was bureaucratic, or it was incompetence. if there was some kind of a technical violation in the invitation itself, and by the way, grassley never ended up attending this. i was scratching my head saying, wait a minute, this is the head of the irs. there are a lot of big issues out there. people don't understand the laws as they apply to hem or to nonprofits. she's out there sending e-mails

saying maybe we ought to investigate senator grassley. there's something wrong here. >> reporters are suggesting she wasn't say investigate senator grassley, investigate the organization that was inviting grassley and also inviting his wife to come along on a free trip raising questions whether the organization was violating tax exempt status. >> and e-mails release show ha point. there's a big difference. either way, i basically agree it suggests an itchy trigger figure, but there's a big difference. the issue of whether groups with nonprofit status are extending their reach is a legitimate issue and one that had kind of slowed down the momentum of that investigation as it had been explored. now i think as we have talked about the investigation has momentum again. we're likely to see continuing efforts by republicans to keep this in the headlines through november. skblt larger point is also that the law itself is so ambiguous

that even the director and people who worked for her disagree about how to interpret it, which raises questions about the irs itself and whether they didn't understand their own policy or whether they need to be revised and made less ambiguous. >> here's the question, ron. we were talking about watergate, will there be enough pressure, enough evidence to justify a special council, an fbi investigatio investigation. you will? a special select knee in congress or will this be left in the usual channels, which are becoming very partisan? >> i think the administration based on previous experience, particularly in the clinton years, will resist a special council unless it becomes absolutely impossible to do otherwise. whether congress feels pressure to do something more than what they have done so far is a much more open question.

as i said, this had really kind of substantially receded. the latest revelations about the e-mails were improperly withheld and information about the lost e-mails has given it new momentum. a special council is something the administration will resist until it has no more finger mnas left to hang on. >> it goes back to whether this is incompetent or whether it's venal or whether the government itself is a bureaucracy whose i.t. systems are not keeping up with where they need to be and this again goes to the question of when you want to enlarge the role of government in our lives, the government has to be effective and efficient and this just goes to the point of even if it's not venal, it lost all these e-mails and how can that occur in this day in age. >> we'll leave it on that note

certainly taking place and follow? >> it made public the pain and the rejection. the most difficult part of segregation was not physical pain. it was isolation. one could not use a public library. blacks had to sit behind. we could not -- so those walls came down and 1964 and then the right to vote for change everything. blacks could not. 18-year-olds could not vote. you couldn't vote on college campuses. all that change coming out of the '60s. >> so much progress has been made. there's an african-american who is president of the united states right now. but i think everyone acknowledges and i'm sure you do as well, a lot more work has to be done if there's one thing that needs to be >> well, let me say, it's not only that president barack obama obama is in the white house, but

president clinton from arkansas and president bush from odessa, texas. we freed white and black. you would not have had big alabama lsu game or the teams in the south. all changed for everybody, the north and south. and enforce the voting rights act and addressed the fact that the 11 southern states have gone confederate again and of the mac daniel variety. one-fourth poverty, and reject medicaid money. a state like mississippi rejects medicaid money for the poorest people in america. so now we must now move toward the beauty of the -- of this thad cochran campaign, and we must live together. if we live together, we can share america's resources together. >> you and i spoke yesterday on the phone. i know you have strong views. the fact that thad cochran, the republican incumbent senator in mississippi, reaching out to african-american voters in

mississippi, mostly democrats, to secure this primary victory. what's the bottom line here? what's your message from what happened? >> the bottom line, if it were a white primary and blacks couldn't vote, it would have been an outcome. and when there is a reachout, i mean, what made bill clinton so strong coming out of arkansas, he reached out. i mean, his opposition had more white votes. he had more white, black and brown. so a multicultural rainbow coalition is america's future. and i would hope that those southern states that are affected with poverty and deprivation would not reject medicaid money and the poor. it's the morally correct thing to do. >> reverend jesse jackson, the president of rainbow push coalition, as always, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you, sir. the '60s, it was a decade that shaped america. perhaps it's the most important contribution as we just mentioned, the civil rights movement.

what emerged from that. tonight, cnn's documentary series, "the '60s" looks at the movement, the long march to freedom. that's tonight, 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. still ahead, the future of iraq. but let's go to brooke baldwin. she is watching what's happening. there has been a decision made in a very important match. ♪ >> all right. here we go. thank you so much, i'm brooke baldwin. soccer all the way here on cnn, watching the reaction here in the united states, and all the way in rio. and the world over. we're waiting, we're in these final key moments. i've just gotten word as we're watching usa play germany. and we're watching portugal play ghana. the latest we have is a couple minutes, three minutes were added to the match, the porch fwal-ghana match. we're waiting to know

as it came down to the final minutes, didn't matter, because portugal and ghana battling it out and portugal needed a ton of goals. the crowd really worn at the d end. it looked like the u.s. would be tying this game, but it didn't happen. that's the story under the manhattan bridge. lots of true passion. what did you think of the match? >> we played well. we didn't win, but we're going to go in the next round and we'll play well in the next round. >> reporter: the next match is tuesday. either against belgium, algeria. what do you think -- or russia. >> easier sides than germany. germany is a strong side. we did well. okay, we lost, but 1-0, we held our own. we'll be okay in the next round. i believe we'll get on to the next round after that. >> reporter: thank you very much. so the united states advances, even though there was a loss to germany. back to you, brooke. >> richard, keep grabbing fans. we want to keep this energy and momentum going there in manhattan and beyond. i'll give you a beat just to do that as we now officially can say, breaking news here on cnn.

we can report that the u.s. is advancing into the next stage of the world cup, leaving the group stage entering the knockout stage, even though the u.s. just lost to germany 1-0, because portugal just beat ghana, we get to move along. george howell, let me scott over to you in chicago. packed house in grant park. take it away. >> reporter: take a look out there. you see some 20 to 25,000 people, brooke. they all came out here to watch the game. people who came in from all over. imagine there are a couple ferris buhlers in there, as well. a lot of excitement and anticipation about this game. you watch as people got very anxious toward the end. but, you know, obviously the u.s. advances. people walk away from grant park today happy with the results. kyle and i were talking just a few minutes ago about the game. what do you think? >> you know, i'm very pleased with the result. i would love to have a win, but, hey, we're through to 16, usa all the way. i'm happy. >> reporter: what was the feeling when germany scored that goal? i mean, i heard the crowd.

what was it like for you? >> it's a little disheartening. but, you know, a lot of time left in the game. didn't mean we were out of it. so, you know, we kept fighting and did what we had to do. and we're going through. >> reporter: real quick, a lot of optimism out here. your expectations about moving forward. what do you think? >> usa all the way. >> reporter: i expected that. thank you, sir. i appreciate it. good time out here in chicago. a lot of people turned out. and i think people just looking ahead, you know, at the next game, brooke. >> george, thank you so much. we keep your pick yourself terse up in chicago, and back to richard roth. i see you motioning to the camera and three guys with team usa jerseys. bet they're feeling pretty good. richard, can you hear me? i know it's loud. >> reporter: right now here under the manhattan bridge with supporters of the united states team following this loss. but a win in a way, because they advance. all right. your thoughts on the match in advancing. >> we're just so excited to be

here. this is bigger than a moment. >> usa! we're going to advance and keep going. we believe! we believe! >> reporter: what do you believe? >> we believe we're getting involved. we're in it, everyone is excited. everyone is going for it. >> reporter: does the usa have a realistic chance of getting into the semi finals or possibly winning the cup? >> oh, yeah. >> anything is possible. >> klinsmann doesn't just think we're underdogs. he believes we're here to stay. and so are we. we're not happy to be here. we want to get everybody involved. >> reporter: who do you want to face, russia, belgium o or algeria. >> belgium. >> if you want to be the best, we want to beat the best. >> we want belgium. >> reporter: weren't you supposed to be at work today? >> no work today. this takes priority. >> reporter: klinsmann, the usa coach, failed to get out, you would be tearing him apart, right? >> not exactly. we're just proud of our guys and

happy to move on. >> we're proud of beckerman. >> our favorite player. he can't wait. >> dempsey, what a game. even though we lost, we advance and that's all that matters. we advance! >> reporter: do you think there is more passion in the u.s. about the world cup. does it fade away after this? >> this is no longer a moment, it's a movement. and people are getting behind u.s. soccer. here to stay. >> usa. usa, baby! here to stay. >> it is here to stay. it is here to stay, baby, usa all the way. >> reporter: maybe we'll find some german supporters. what do you think of the victory by advancing? even though you lost? >> you know what, i'm really happy with the performance that usa did. we played the number-one team in the world. pretty much germany. so i think they're an amazing team, and i'm really happy for them. we're playing probably the best soccer right now in a while that we have. >> reporter: did you like the match? all right. thank you very much. he's got a soccer ball. >> we're going to play now. >> reporter: yeah, and maybe millions of others.

that's the scene under the manhattan bridge. back to you, brooke. >> richard, thank you so much. so just absolutely electric. it doesn't matter if you have been a soccer fan or not. i tell you, the bug has bit. this is contagious, seeing the excitement as is that one guy said who was clearly working and watching this match. it is not just a moment, it is a movement. but how exactly is it this work? if you're not in the weeds on the world cup, are you scratching your head and wondering how is it that despite this u.s. loss the u.s. is still advancing? rachel nichols, i'm going to bring you in, in manhattan. you're our go-to sports gal here. please explain to me why we are advancing now into the knockout round. >> well, we're all used to the playoffs, right? you know, it's a tiered system, you win, you win a series, a game, you go on to the next round. the world cup starts with a round robin. so you play all the teams in your group, we're in group g in the united states. you play all the teams in the group and they take the two best teams from that group and they move them on to the next round. and then starting in the next

round, it's called the knockout stage. and then it works just like we're all used to. you win, you stay in. you lose, you go home. so that's the territory the united states is entering. but they weren't there yet today, and they performed so well in the early stages of the group round robin that they earned the right today to have the advantage of, hey, losing and still moving forward. and that's what they did. they lost to germany by only one goal. portugal was able to beat ghana, and the goal differential there was good. so all of that makes the united states happy campers, even with the loss today. >> and here's a little factoid i got before coming up here. since we made it past this round, this is the first time ever the u.s. has advanced to the knockout stage. two world cups in a row. do we know at what point here, as this is about positioning, moving into the knockout round, rachel, what point will we know who we play next? >> here's where the fact they lost today does come into account. the fact they lost to germany today means that, yes, both
