doing doings, let's see, it's about scalia. his originalism was always a shock even if it was consistent which it rarely was and even if it was principled, which it never was, bush versus gore was proof of that. more often, it was an executescuse for him to be an arrogant bully. who said that? >> clarence thomas. >> no. >> that's such a bad guess. charlie piers, our tuesday pal whom we love. >> we love charlie pierce. >> who said explain now that scalia doesn't like it on its face and it has nothing to do with originalism. the commerce clause or anything else. he doesn't think the people who would benefit from the law deserve to have a law that benefits them. on tuesday he pursued the broccoli gee where he sounded like a talk show host from at dusty station in southern oklahoma. today, he ran through every twist and turn in the bar occasion political history and

as a challenge to his constitutionalt constitutionalty. who said that? >> george herbert walker bush. don't like the broccoli. >> not a bad guess. charlie pierce who was at the supreme court. one last one. let's see. what in the hell does the corn cornhusker kickback get another term from the cepherabilityity argument? is scalia making the indicates a banal compromise from which a bill is produced can affect it's ultimate constitutionalty? never look he is a heckler at this point. if we can't do better than that, he is right. it's a waste of his time who said that? >> husker doom. >> bob dole? >> wow corn husker dude. >> wow. speaking of legal issues kathleen madigan mentioned this yesterday. you have to admit -- >> noted legal analyst. >> she had the best legal

yesterday. he tweeted what he thought was george zimmerman's address. >> somebody else's. >> either way. >> wrong. >> if harm would have come to the real george zimmerman, he would be lieable. >> yeah. >> i mean that's exactly -- and what is this? the black panther party? >> stop doing that. >> yeah. first of all, you are doing the same thing george zimmerman, acting like law enforcement. you are not law enforcement. what you need to do is put pressure on authorities to correct them. i know. i know. don't -- you know, exactly what you are doing. you are being vigilante's back. you can't defend that. he retreatedweeted what he thought was george zimmerman's address and it was the home of an elderly couple. it could have been compounded. >> they haven't been able to go home. >> one has a heart condition. >> he hasn't even been killed by a black person. >> yeah. he has approximately 250,000 followers, spike lee.

asked an innocenten question. there's the irony, mitt romney has been lying about so many things, we can use the word lie because he's been lying about obama's healthcare law the recovery, the media which let lies slide crashes down on him because one of the media tells the truth. >> he doesn't need your help. all you have to do is let him talk and he says things -- first of all he has elevators for each of his cars. separate elevators for his cars in his mansion out here in la jolla, kenny in cleveland. ♪ ♪ >> shamus.

it's healthy cold garbage. >> exactly. hmm hmm. kids, we have a very important guest, we've been hoping to get for quite some time. his new memoir is named "life among the cannibals: a political career a tea party uprising and the end of governing as we know it." arlen specter welcome. >> nice to be here. >> thank you, sir. i don't know if you knew my father ran with goldwater in 1964. >> i didn't know. oh, yeah, sure, he was a -- an upstate new york congressman right? >> that's right, look the you. i have to say you're certainly not the first person, i made this point a lot people can agree or disagree but how far to the right in my opinion, the republican party has gone. i mean, it certainly doesn't appear to be my dad and goldwater's party anymore, i don't think it's ronald reagan's party anymore, is it? >> no. >> chuckles warmly.

>> i don't know if ronald reagan could win a republican primary. let me tell you the proof of it. you've got an outstanding senator like bob bennett from utah, a 93% conservative rating and he gets defeated in the primary. for one vote. he cast one vote for the bush program for a -- a republican program for $700 billion to help the banking -- the automotive industry when it looked like we were heading for an economic collapse. and that -- you're simply not pure enough if you've only got a 93% rating. >> isn't that it, shouldn't that be a nonpartisan uniquely american story, the rescue of the auto industry. it's back. saved how many jobs, created more, driving the recovery now and yet they still can't give

the president credit for that. >> well, absolutely. and bear this in mind, dick cheney, that wild--eyed liberal came to the republican caucus and told us that if you don't support bush's program you're going to turn it into a modern herbert hoover. but listen, the democrats are the same, an outstanding senator like joe lieberman can't win a democratic primary and my book goes behind the scenes to tell you what those are and what goes on and how much concern really fear there is that a single vote could end a political career and that is is stultifying. >> senator specter, i know what you mean in your case. the point's been made so many times that the ronald reagan, tip o'neil, ronald reagan raised taxes 11 times when it became necessary, in your case you voted for the stimulus which saved and created so many times and that was coupled with healthcare reform in your town halls, that was your moment,

right, of deciding to switch parties. >> well, when i cast the vote for the stimulus party, the bottom dropped out of my republican support. i had won a narrow election against toomey in 2004 and he made a announcement that he was going to run for governor and i had a clear path for reelection but when the stimulus was proposed it looked to me like we were going to have a 1930s style depression unless we passed it. i said that's a risk that has to be taken. i wasn't sent here to preserve my seat. i was sent here to do what was in the public interest. >> well, i made this point many times, senator, that, you know even in my dad's day they truly had friends on both sides of the aisle and they really did work together. you talk about -- basically the book is about the growing extremism in the republican party led to your choice but barry goldwater used to talk about that, about the extreme influence of the religious right, on the republican part, in the '80s he used to stand

up for gays in the military on the senate floor. >> yeah, well, he was prochoice. to be prochoice and tolerant of gays would be a loser with -- in the republican primary. >> yep. >> right. look at the contortions mitt romney has had to go through. >> well, i have quoted bill marr's statement which i think fit's romney to a tee and that is that romney has changed positions more often than a pornographic movie queen. [laughter] >> i love that. >> you quoting bill marr is something i thought i'd never hear. >> listen, there is a way out. and i go into this in detail in my book. you have the situation of senator lisa murkowski in alaska. the tea party runs an opponent, cannibalize her, they beat her. she decides to try a writein can you imagine the difficulty

of writing in murkowski if you use a y instead of an i your ballot's out. and she won. and that experience shows that if you -- if you educate the electorate and motivate the electorate you can bring back moderates in government. she's a good example. her example is the way for the future to make congress work. >> do you feel -- what do you feel like this election cycle is going to hold? i mean, do you think there's going to be some sort of return to reason? >> well, that remains to be seen. there's naturally going to be the heaviest emphasis on the presidency but no matter who is elected for president without a congress which works together and passes legislation nothing will happen but that's why i wrote the book and that's why i'm so happy to talk to you about it. >> you are good at this plug stuff. it is "life among the

cannibals: a political career a tea party uprising and end of governing as we know it." arlen specter, you've got a lot of interviews, thank you so much. >> what a man. with a magic bullet. [horn] >> jfk conspiracy theorist and you went and ruined it john. >> i waited till he was gone. his book has detailed stories about being in the senate whirlpool with a naked ted kennedy. >> wow, that's something i didn't need to know. >> he gives details. >> oh. >> not like that, no. he actually makes a joke about how a rising tide lifted all boats. and a great, great great inspiration to cancer survivors in america. >> no, it's true. >> so many facets to his career but, no, that's actually one of them. that's why michael j. fox, john, blurbed his book because he's done so much work on stem cell and all of that.

>> that's a conservative thing to do. the fact that conservatives are still fighting stem cell research is illogical. >> nancy reagan, when she's talking about something disagree with like science. >> that's going to help people that aren't millionaires. >> misha in delaware, you were talking more importantly about how much you love me. hi misha. >> i'm infusing your liberal views into my 3-year-old right now, that's how much i love you. >> put him in the bath water? is that how you infuse it? >> i want to make a quick point. in regards to the tray -- you know, the tray -- trayvon martin's case, i remember his dad was stating that, you know, after he got -- you know, after his son was beaten and all that stuff, trayvon was -- i'm going to kill you or you're going to die or something in regards to that. wouldn't it have been the other way around, the person who had the weapon would more than likely say something like that?

>> thank you. and this is hearsay, you don't need to be a lawyer to go this is -- >> it's a little bit crazy but i want to say i love you guys and i'm going to keep infusing your stiff and growing my little liberals. >> you're soaking in it, liberals. >> the right wing would call that brainwashing, though. >> whatever. >> zimmerman was crying for help, the guy with the gun was crying for help? >> oh, i know, i can help myself, i have a gun. >> i appreciate the fact that the zimmerman family loves george, i get that and do everything they can to help him but jim -- >> buy him a bag of skittles? >> holding a 9mm weapon and crying for help. why aren't we seeing more conservatives being outraged that i aguy arrested for assaulting a cop and ex-girlfriend filed a restraining order against him for violence was allowed to carry a concealed weapon. it would never happen in new york.

it happens in florida because the gun lobe is writing our laws. >> speak lee, the woman said -- oh, their son has the same name as george. >> middle name, right. >> he tweeted their address and obviously, they had to move. anyway lee tweeted late yesterday i deeply apologize to the mcclain family for tweeting their address by mistake. when he called us i know he's been concerned. they reached a financial settlement because they've had to move to a hotel and et cetera. >> i heard he apologized for he hate me. >> i would have forgotten about that if you hadn't brought it up. >> hiss rhea, pizzeria.

>> chris in virginia. go ahead. >> hi, stephanie. first, let me say i'm so glad you're on current. you're absolutely gorgeous. >> right? >> yes, she is absolutely gorgeous. >> blinding in person. >> thank you for this, i know my mom is probably talking to the tv right now. take the baseball hat off. >> are you current your mom into a current watcher. >> yes. >> go ahead, chris. >> i apologize. what i do find really disgusting is the way that shawn has nottity and bill o'reilly are approaching this story, they've kind of taken it just to a whole 'nother disgusting level, you know what i'm saying. >> in what way. >> i find it repulsive. >> in what way? >> it's who they bring on, you know, to speak for the guy and how he questions -- >> chris, they don't know, from the beginning, i don't know if you've known i don't think they

know what to do with the story. unarmed dead teenager, how can we make this good for the republican party and bad for obama. >> what's interesting is -- yes. >> thank you. no, go ahead. >> i was saying what's equally interesting is how the kid's father, how he gets involved, how the prosecutor gets involved and how it all happened so fast. you know how within 40 minutes you know, the prosecutor's on the scene and, you know, that's his dad making the call saying handle this. >> his dad the judge? >> yes. >> what do you think mr. zimmerman's first phone call was to? >> and, by the way, and i'll leave after this, i find arlen specter to be a complete bore. >> oh. all right. >> i've heard him say the same thing over and over. >> i let you on too long. >> said a lot of things, but not boring. fascinating career. stories about naked ted kennedy for heaven's sake. top that, pal.

>> who you been in a hot tub with, huh? by the way, who was it zimmerman's father, brother who said this thing of the president, i didn't expect this level of hatred from the president. >> george's father. >> the president didn't say anything about zimmerman he talked about his own kids. >> there was nothing hateful in what the president said. >> he was talking while black. >> i was talking with a law enforcement guy in new york with this case, the thing i brought up don't you think zimmerman would have been better off they arrested him right away. they never thought the story would catchin' catch on. here's the irony potentially if it goes to trial they've poisoned any jury pools and contradictory stories about his black friend for hire, he's told so many stories, he's made his

legal chances worse. >> kathleen madigan discussed the viewing area friend and we both -- the convenient friend and we came to the same conclusion kathleen madigan would not defend me and psychs would not defend kathleen madigan. >> the white guys, why aren't responsible gun owners say, no we don't like this, this guy assaulted police, we don't buy this. >> the other thing, i should say, about spike lee, when he said i apologize, leave the mcclains in peace he should have said leave zimmerman in peace. >> violence is wrong. >> we'll be right back on "the stephanie miller show." >>bill press and stephanie miller, current's new morning news block. weekdays six to noon.

the justices than their clerks to form late their opinions and put them down and they may change with time. the next republican presidential primary is tuesday in wisconsin. that's where eyes are focused. they'll be inviting in d.c. and maryland but wisconsin is the big one. poll ahead of santorum, and if romney wins the nomination which looks likely he's quite a slog against president obama 52-35%, he's got 13% voters undecided but doing very well with women in wisconsin a 25-point lead, 55-30. part of mitt romney's problem may be that voters want him to connect more. they want him to be more human. the "new york times" reporting today that voters especially in the midwest want more personal stories. they want a way that they can really connect, they're begging mitt romney to get real. coming up, stephanie miller talks about having ian millhiser, a policy analyst for

>> and shawna not only the lack of visible injuries of him of any kind, does this look like a guy distraught over just having killed an unarmed teenager, i mean, you know,... >> i know several police officers, and i used to be a nurse, adrenaline, your blood pumps, so he would have blood on him, number one. >> on his light colored shirt by the way. >> did you see the degree of his injuries are. they're saying they cleaned him up. really, first of all, that's the other thing you're not supposed to do. >> also the doctored frame of that film that purports to show cuts on the back of his head. >> the daily caller. >> but i don't know who came up with that. >> and they want you to believe the fact that trayvon martin may have had a bag that may have had marijuana in it is relevant but the fact that this guy's dad is a judge isn't. >> robert zimmerman, this is his

dad yesterday. >> trayvon martin said something to the effect of "you're going to die now oar you're going to die tonight," something to that effect. >> sure. and -- >> continued to beat george and at some point george pulled his pistol and did what he did. >> and how does robert zimmerman knows noh this, was he there? >> hearsay, hearsay. >> total hearsay. how could he threaten someone with a bag of skittles. >> you're going to die ju-ju bees pez pez the guy with the gun -- >> help, help, i'm pursuing a guy with a gun i'm the guy with the gun but the point is i'm threatened. >> it's almost easter and i've got peeps, i mean, seriously. >> the zimmerman camp has changed its narrative so many times, more than george lucas with its story and, again, it's

only going to hurt him in the long run. god help him if he ever is indicted or the feds get into this because he's got so many sur row gates that have so many stories that contradict each other and the worst, the ugliest thing when the sanford police department leaked the information about the cannabis in trayvon's pants. >> blame the victim when he's already dead. >> you know how violent pot makes teenagers, you know that, right. >> george george zimmerman's dad again last night. >> trayvon martin walked up to him, asked him do you have [beep] problem? george said, no, i don't have a problem and started to reach for his cell phone. at that point he was punched in the nose. >> uh-huh. >> and, again, he knows all this how? he knows it for a fact how? he wasn't there, he didn't observe any of this. >> yeah. >> here's one thing we do know.

if george zimmerman would have stayed in the car that kid would be still alive. >> exactly. >> and how does he know he was reaching -- how did he know he was reaching for a cell phone? the guy's pursuing him stalking him and he -- >> exactly, john, isn't that the point? even that's not relevant. most parents teach your kids defend yourself if you have to, stalked by a stranger. >> and reaches in his pocket for something. maybe he did punch him in the nose. >> understandable, he loves his son, he's going to do everything he can but in the long run he may be hurting his son legally. >> he slammed president obama and civil rights leaders for supposedly spewing hate. what, the president's statement was empathetic, person, human it was as a father. >> but saying things that rhymes with spoons that's not hay. >> the congressional caucus or naacp are trying to get profit

by this in some way is -- >> moran. >> the president's vitriol beyond hate. >> if he mention race in any context you're a racist. >> if you mention a guy said [beep] a black person on a 911. >> you're racist for pointing it out. and denial of racism is the new racism. the latest mean is, can we say that word on air the c. >> prefer not to. >> so easy not to when you go through the day. >> coonest. >> he was speaking [speaking spanish], he was speaking spanish. >> trayvon's mom. >> this video is the icing on the cake. this is not the first part of evidence that they have had. they have had the 911 tapes and they have also had witnesses. >> teresa in denver, hey teresa. >> hello, stephanie, good

morning. >> hi. >> congratulations on your new show, i'm so happy i get to watch you again. >> thank you. >> i used to listen to you when i had a job. but i was laid off in february. >> i don't sorry. >> that what happens when you're nine months pregnant and your boss is a tool. >> sorry. >> my point about the trayvon martin's case is how come nobody's mentioned what the crime rate or crime statistics were like in that area what gave him the idea that necessitated he drive around with a 9mm. if my husband felt like he had to protect our neighborhood with a 9mm i think we'd move. >> right. teresa, i think -- i found another article yesterday, i mean, obviously not hilarious in the light of what happened but this guy was a vigilante doofus, he reported the 41 9/11 calls he was reporting two guys with a slim jim. they were locked out of their own car. go get another hobby or something. seriously. >> a meat product.

>> i think what we're going to find is zimmerman has a long history of emotional problems. there's a story now on raw story that he was apparently fired from a job because he lost a security guard job after he snapped. we know his ex-girlfriend filed a restraining order against him because she accused him of violence against her, he shoved a cop, and i feel if they're going to go up with a mental instability defense they're making it worse for themselves by hiding and sending out these sur row gates saying different stories. >> i agree. 18 minutes after the hour, back with this, the latest details we continue friday with john fuglesang on "the stephanie miller show." >> when you need to find a contractor, painter or a dentist. >> they can hear us. 30 seconds. >> wow.

george zimmerman's father who says he got punched in the nose. that's so much bull because whenever there's any trauma to the nose there's immediate bruising immediately and swelling and only swelling will go down with ice immediately applied but the bruising doesn't go down for days and raccoon eyes after that. in defense of his son when he spun all that bull crap but he went on fox to talk about the hatred that obama like there was hatred from obama, not at all. >> they will fit any story maria, into their story line the president is an angry racist, you know. >> yeah. and all of the black caucus and the naacp spewing hatred? i don't think so. >> yeah. yeah. >> the hatred came from him. and i think that the racism from his son probably comes from his judge father. >> yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. all right, thank you.

done. >> yes. >> oh, by the way, richard in orange, we'll do right wing world in just a bit. said steph thanks for playing fox news sound bite. no president said if i had a son he would look like trayvon martin. you think that makes sense which president had a kid that looked like him but i did a little research and found out thomas jefferson did the same thing. >> our listeners are scamps. >> hey, jerry. >> hey, momma. >> as i was listening to mr. zimmerman defending his son and slamming naacp, president obama and the congressional caucus, did you get an idea that a right winger may be sitting beside him coaching him to say these things?

>> fits conveniently into the fox story line. >> he must have been listening to a lot of glenn beck latestly remember he said president obama had a deep seated hatred for white people? >> that's about the story since the campaign. >> in fairness, glenn beck has a deep seated hatred of sane people. >> thank you. >> you notice, i have much better phone etiquette than glenn beck does. ♪ >> get off the phone, get off the phone, get off the phone. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> get off the phone, get off the phone, get off the phone oooo. >> beethoven is suing from the grave. >> angie from west virginia, hi, angie. >> congratulations current for a wonderful show. >> thank you. >> i wanted to comment on the trayvon martin case. i think what's going on in florida right now is just an example of the good old boy

back-scratching network at work. i think that's why we haven't seen an arrest. and i also wanted to comment thank god for social media hand thank god the public is becoming aware of this because it's bringing a certain level of accountability that i don't think we would have had. >> that's why you have to condemn the spike lees of the world we're talking for actual justice, not vigilante justice like what happened in this case. it's good to look -- i'll be on with cenk and "the young turks," he was first about alec, stand your ground alec under fire, advocates brought their fight to washington with the golden mine dialing up the pressure, it's the american legislative exchange council, a conservative group that helps produce legislation for statehouses

across the country, by the way. we've come to pull back the curtain so the team can written the kill at will laws and spread the poison around the nation said the president of the national urban league. the same team of ghostwriters is poisoning the constitutional write by spreading around the nation the despicable voter id laws. alec beck by the nra, wal-mart quietly at the statehouse level including the drive to stop voter rights voter id, undocumented workers so they will, quote, unquote self-deport as mitt romney says so they have their tackles in a lot of places, john. >> they sure do. michael bloomberg, our mayor here in new york city may be one of the most popular democrats -- republicans in the world. generally you look at polls and think one of the republicans that could give obama serious

run for his money. he came out and said the gun lobby is writing our laws. >> zimmerman said he was involved three years earlier in an altercation with an undercover officer who was taking part in a sting. charged with battery of an officer and resisting officer with violence. court records show a woman filed a petition for injunction against him citing domestic violence. wasn't the first story that he was squeaky clean, that's why they let him go. >> if you're a conservative do you care about law enforcement if you care about children affected by gun violence you're on the wrong side listening to o'reilly and demonizing trayvon. i see my republican friends on tv doing cartwheels and yoga positions to try to find a way to somehow demonize trayvon martin. >> and may or may not have held marijuana at one point.

>> i looked at the mclaughlin group, i thought the planets were aligning in the apocalypse because they agreed. >> right, wrong. >> the guy aultimate is ad a cop and concealing a 9mm. you want him to be your standard bearer? >> i learned more details about zimmerman. by this point repeatedly called police to report potholes, aggressive drivers, neighbors who left their garage doors open. >> wow. >> in june 2007 he reported two latino men and a white man with a slim jim to open a locked car police determined they were locked out of their own car. >> one thing i haven't heard too much on the media, have you listened the 911 tape when he said that epithet? also he felt the need to describe trayvon martin as a black male twice. he said he, what's his race, sir? he's black, it's a black male. >> by the way, he's black. >> why is he calling 911 to

report a open garage door. that's not an emergency. stop polluting 911 with that crap. >> or potholes. >> jim carrey on "in living color." >> we're hearing and more about his emotional instability. this guy had no authority to approach trayvon martin. >> end of story. >> warren in indiana, you're on "the stephanie miller show," hi, warren. >> what's happening, steph? >> hmm, hmm, hmm, just you baby. >> you're completely gorgeous, we spill love all over you. >> my goodness, that sounds messy. all right. >> and, as a matter of fact, my singing group wants to be the official singing group of "the stephanie miller show." >> wow. ring it. all right, warren, go ahead. >> listen, i'm a police officer, believe it or not. and i was noticing on the tape the mannerisms of the police officers that were bringing him in. they were extremely, extremely casual. >> right. >> and in my line of work, and i've been a police officer 32

years, i have brought in many murder suspects, i don't ever bring them in casually, i don't ever talk to them, pat them on the back. this thing about them cleaning up on the scene, that's something that's never done. >> paramedics were on the scene. >> warren, isn't that evidence that's what i'm saying, if you've got particularly a murder victim? >> correct, that's evidence, stephanie, you don't clean that up at the scene that makes absolutely no law enforcement sense and i don't think any law enforcement academy or training facility in any state trains that, that you clean up the scene. >> you're forget one thing you're forgetting one thing, no one ever thought this would turn into a national story. >> well, that's true. >> and that's the saddest part of it, john, you know, that this apparently's no big deal, you know. >> in florida. >> elma in virginia, you're on "the stephanie miller show," hey, elma.

>> hi, this is regarding trayvon. i wanted to know, did they ever release information about the distance trayvon was from the shooter? >> well, no, i mean, but elma this is why -- they didn't do a proper investigation, this is what you're supposed to do, ballistics, splatter wounds, trajectories. >> the prosecutor's office can't they tell? >> he was a joedo for three days, they knew his address but they left him sitting there for three days. >> word came out, the coroner said there were no bruises or any sign of a struggle on trayvon's body. >> but i just thought they could tell the distance. >> if they would have done normal police work yeah. >> if they would come out with that information it would either say he was on top of zimmerman or he was standing five feet away from him, you know, i just think, you know, i just think that they -- if they're going to

try this case in the media they should go ahead and give us all the information. >> yeah, exactly, i agree. >> the county coroner in l.a. after the bobby kennedy assassination was he had been hit three times from about an inch away because of the powder residue on the clothing and his head. zimmerman was never -- sirhan sirhan was ever in anywhere close to bobby kennedy. >> i found something interesting. george zimmerman has lied about his father, his father is not a judge. >> wow. >> when he applied to join the seminole county sheriff's office citizens law enforcement academy he wrote on the application father is a retired magistrate judge for the supreme court of virginia. however, a tampa television station has talked to the department of legislative and public relations in virginia and said robert zimmerman served as a full-time magistrate from

2000-2006, please be advised that in virginia magistrates are judicial officers but not considered judges. lied on his application to do that and that's why everybody thinks his father is a judge. >> plus he's pretending to be bob dylan, a crime. >> brenda in dallas, texas. hi, brenda. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> i was wondering where is trayvon martin's cell phone? nobody has mentioned that, where is it? >> right, and the other curious thing it rang while he was laying there dead, police didn't answer it, curious aspects to this case, i think his dad was calling him. >> that maybe he took pictures, is that a possibility? >> very possible. >> he's dead. >> good point. tony in l.a. real quick, hey tony. >> hey, girl. i just wanted to say where was trayvon shot, wasn't he shot in

the back? >> we don't know. that's the problem. that's the problem with all these details sort of leaking out, she said it's been trying in the media, we don't know. >> that's a shame because first of all, i'm pretty sure -- well, that's a rumor we heard that he was shot in the back. you know, and how do you fight somebody when you get shot in the back, you know. and, basically, he brought some. if trayvon followed him back and was molly whopping him as we used to say, he just got scared let me don't shoot him because i can't fight him. you know what, this is really -- >> tony, the relevant thing is zimmerman started this, he was following him. he was, you know, that -- that's the whole point. stand your ground is if you're being attacked or threatened. >> stand of ground may actually be irrelevant in this case. >> tony? >> the way you're going to get rid of that law, if black folks

down in florida start standing their ground, trust me the law will get erased before god gets the news, honey, because huh-uh, they're not going to allow that. and if you look at a lot of those cases, i'm willing to bet my life on the fact that none of them had where a black person shot a white person. let's just be real. and this just hurts me so bad because 30 years ago when i was in college i marched on the same case, a young brother got his larynx broken and he literally from the night stick of the policeman and he literally drowned on his own blood, they threw him in the paddy wagon, that was 30 years ago when i was in milwaukee at marquette. you know, it's so hurting like as a black person, i'm trying so hard, really, to pray and hope that justice is served because if you look at thousands of people marching and he still hasn't been brought in as a black person, i already know, nothing's going to happen. he'll get away with it.

>> i hope not. >> it's really hard for me. >> i hope not. you know you're my favorite. how was your first time on tv? >> oh, fab! [laughter] >> you're my girl. >> stephanie, oh, my god, this is wonderful. >> we love tony. that's our tony in l.a. >> interesting, though, maybe that's what caused him to shoot him, maybe he was taking his picture, maybe that was it. >> who knows? 48 minutes after the hour. after we're back right wing world on "the stephanie miller show." >> for a good time call right now we're keeping it real.

>> you've got to hear me what your take is. what is your take? >> what happened here is that the conservative justices, they read through literally thousands of pages of briefing and conducted extensive research they examined their own past opinions, and after this painstaking process, they concluded that barack obama is a democrat and they are republican. >> yeah, yeah. i have to say, i've heard a lot of people say this is the problem is they've become politicians. >> yeah. >> rather than justices. really -- somebody wrote a piece about scalia, and that's the problem and they also are going to a lot of these republican fund-raisers, i mean, they're not even hidden about it anymore, are they? >> no, i mean, it's really very frightening, scalia in particular was throwing out lines about broccoli and cornhusker kickbacks and it sound like it was a rally at the republican national convention. and not a supreme court

argument. and what's sad about this is that the constitution is really clear, you know, with respect to the so-called mandate the constitution says congress can regulate commerce, this law regulates 1/6 of the economy that's a lot of commercial. it doesn't matter what the constitution says we'll write a new one if they strike it down. >> this is current, which is al gore's network. they don't like judicial activism except for bush versus gore which wasn't close 7-2 according to scalia, i don't recall that, do you. >> i remember there being four just tills in dissent. >> the exchange between sonia sotomayor and the lawyer for independent businesses which opposes obama care she got him to concede that single payer would be unconstitutional.

sotomayor says congress can tax everybody and set up a public tax care system. >> yes. >> justice sotomayor ok. >> the portable care act is the opposite of socialism. >> the affordable care act this was created by the heritage foundation, which is the conservative think tank here. the republican alternative to the clinton healthcare plan in the 1990s. when you think about what the plaintiffs are claiming is unconstitutional here it is crazy. you hear, oh, the government can't make you buy anything, that's ridiculous. the government already makes you buy shelter insurance, that's what medicare is. the government takes your money through taxes and uses it to buy insurance for you. what it does is cuts out the middle man. i see nothing in the constitution that says the

government has to hold on to your money for a little bit before it's allowed to make you buy shelter insurance. >> ian, so what your -- health insurance. >> evennian, up to a week ago they thought the mandate was safe. what do you think will happen, do you think they're leaning toward striking the whole thing or the mandate or neither or both? we had somebody said that, oh, they have to make a lot of noise for the republican base. do you have a real sense how they're going to rule? >> you know, i really head hope that they're voting this morning actually, they're probably voting as we speak on what they're going to do. i hope they had a few nights at home, they thought about this, they thought -- the scariest part of the argument was the argument over the mandate, it was the argument over the medicaid expansion the affordable care act expands medicaid to people up to 133% of the poverty line medicaid has expanded many times before reagan did it three times, clinton did it twice and the justices were throwing out

theories that would invalidate the affordable care acts medicaid expansion, it would retroactively throw out those things. tense of millions of people who currently have coverage would lose it. >> and, you know, as ruth bader ginsburg i think said, you know, this is judicial overreach this is not a conservative -- you know, it would not be a conservative ruling, right? >> yeah, no, that's exactly right. i seem to remember someone named john roberts testifying in a senate committee one day and talking about, oh, if you make me chief justice i love judicial modesty, judicial modesty is awesome and, yeah, not so much. >> that's a legal term "not so much." well, ian, take us through this on the legal -- what would happen and when exactly? >> sure thing so in june we'll probably get the answer, end of june, end of the supreme court term. i should emphasize i'm being -- i'm sounding pessimistic because these are frivolous arguments

they shouldn't have gone anywhere, the mere fact we're considering them is troubling but all is not lost. you know, kennedy, in the mandate argument expressed some skepticism or seemed to buy into the solicitor general's argument that at the very least solve the problem of uninsured people showing up at emergency rooms and transferring the cost to you and me. roberts seemed skeptical of some of the arguments in medicaid so we could win but the mere fact that we're having to be the least bit uncertain is terrifying because the constitution's absolutely career here. >> i've heard ringers say we'll start over with a bipartisan -- right wingers say that we'll start over with a bipartisan bill. what? the president went out of his way to get both sides. there were scads of hearings. our i am number one priority is

to defeat the president you know they're not interested in helping him in any way. that's been the original problem, right? >> yeah, no, i mean, i think the lesson moving forward, the reason why obama picked this method of regulating of fixing the problem is because it was mitt romney's method, it was the heritage foundation's method, he thought, ok, guys, i care enough about making sure that people don't die from preventable diseases in the wealthiest country in the world, i will do it your way. >> that's what i think the way that this debate has gotten in this country, even if you don't -- you hate the -- the affordable care act, you hate the president, it's just -- do you really think that he didn't want to help people with this? do you really think the president just wants to run healthcare and run car companies and just -- i mean, that's the thing -- >> and give money away to insurance companies? >> yeah, that's the thing, we've gotten to a point where we can't even -- this was bob dole's plan essentially wasn't it? >> yeah. >> and the thing about it is

even if you assume the worst possible thing of obama, even if you assume that the reason he did this is because he has a secret plan to eat babies, whatever you want to assume about him, you know what we're going to have this year? we're going to have an election. and if you don't like barack obama, if you don't like what barack obama has done, that is the legitimate way to, you know, to express your grievance. what they've done here is they said we're going to bypass democracy entirely. it doesn't matter barack obama overwhelming won the 2008 election, we're going to go to the supreme court and get them to call it. >> yeah, and here we are. what happens when it's like, ok, you've got cancer, you're not going to get insurance, you're 24, you're on your parents' insurance, bye-bye. it just -- it's amazing they'll do anything to defeat him regardless of who it hurts. >> yeah. no, it's -- yeah, oh, go ahead. >> no, no, go ahead, i guess like you say, we have to wait until june.

and i don't know, you know, a lot of times they say you can't tell from the questions they ask how they're going to rule. what is your take on that this time? >> i mean, i am significantly more pessimistic than i was coming into it but i'm not despondent. like i said, kennedy asked some questions that suggests we could get them. roberts asked some questions that suggest we could get him and so when this all plays out we could have a 6-3 decision upholding the entire law and we could all, you know take ourselves off suicide watch and move on. but, you know, the law -- you know, i would have thought when this lawsuit was brought there was a 0% chance it was going to get struck down and it's more than 0 now. >> has the performance of solicitor general verelli has caused you to be more pessimistic than you would have normally been? >> after the argument on the mandate i wasn't pleased what i saw there from them. but then i saw the justices go

into the medicaid argument and you had justices suggesting that, you know, we're going to throw out 40 years of medicaid expansions that we're going to steal healthcare away from people who already had it and i thought, you know what, this can't be verelli's fault the you justices came in with a agenda and expressing their agenda and i don't care who you are, you know, as an attorney, if you're arguing against justices who that kind of ideological bent i don't know what you do. >> remember when the president spoke out against citizens united, i think nearly 80% of the american people are against and you have alito going no, no, oh. >> and hearing the justices relate tea party talking points, hearing scalia talking about the cornhusker kickbacks, that was removed from the bill and he didn't know it. this argument in the bill saying

you can't force this huge bill down our throats before we have a chance to read it -- well, unless it's the patriot act, right? >> that's the thing is when you have people like rush limbaugh talking about drinking adult beverages on his verandah with clarence thomas you wonder why it sounds right out of am talk radio some of the things they're saying, incredible. ian, we'll check in with you obviously, as this moves along but we always appreciate your time. >> thank you so much. hopefully i'll have good news for you in june. >> i'm sure you will. you better. >> ian millhiser. >> you know why we have to wait until june to get the verdict? because it takes that long for clarence thomas to write his opinion. >> she's growing to drunk dial you for an apology tomorrow morning. >> did you get that, news busters? >> we'll be right back. nor fridays with fugelsang on "the stephanie miller show." >> are you thinking what i'm thinking?ú >> all the time, mitch.

>> it's "the stephanie miller show." >> we're up on current. say hello to current. >> hello. hello. >> hello. don't say any bad words. >> ok. >> use it in a sentence. >> erickson and charles krauthammer. you could be wishing it was february. so get allstate.

>> survivor an entire four minutes. >> did you say they're already rebooting the spider man franchise. they're starting the story all over again, yeah. i know. i know. >> stephanie miller. >> stephanie miller. >> it is the "the stephanie miller show," welcome to it. maria in chicago hi, maria. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> congratulations on your show. i'm so excited for you. >> thank you. couple two, three things, like they say in chicago. >> that's right.

>> i feel so in -- i completely understand when your brother used to tackle you and yell and then tackle you, i can ga i thighs. my brothers used to put me on top of the refrigerator when they were babysitting me because i couldn't get done. >> i think my brother once put me in the oven during a game of hide and seek when i was small. >> oh. >> well, he didn't turn it on. >> cruel brother. with as ugly as you were. >> my dad might have won the election. >> maria, have your brothers apologized? >> oh, they're terrified of me now, it worked out well. i studied kung fu for a bunch of years. >> you know no one can top me, my mother did hang me and dug a grave for me and shoot me with his bb gun. >> he always gave me a head start. those are the words i remember in my childhood "stephy, run."

and i was hear the pumping of the bb gun, the pump action. >> republicans always give you a head start before they kill you. >> so let's look on the bright side. >> did you call in to be like stephanie's brother. >> let's finish you have right wing world. eric erickson has a show? >> why can't we name this the stephanie stephanieson's show. >> republicans are part of families. we don't actually want our kids to be killed. you, mr -- you were ok with kids being born even though there was supposed to be an abortion and killing them after their born, infanticide, we call it post-abortion abortion apparently. >> wow. >> eric erickson. >> so nice you say it twice. >> cnn contributor.

>> cnn? >> yep. >> they'll let anyone on that network, sir. >> i'm proud to dirty up all four of the networks, thank you very much. >> you're double the only real journalism on cnn, you got the etch a sketch. >> and i love soledad o'brian. i was so shocked she let me ask a question, i didn't say etch a sketch, he said it. the one thing we hear in interview is mitt romney saying conservative, it's like george bush saying macho or charlie sheen saying winning everyone asking are you really conservative, i thought i think this guy's too conservative and i never heard anyone ask that before and i couldn't believe it, and i got to ask the question and badda-bing. >> charles krauthammer right wing world. >> they've been at it since iowa. we're three months in it and romney has half the delegates they need, the others are

following. none of them has a chance of getting the nomination. it's a blocking action. it's a shoot the moon colony right now. >> gets a good one in. >> terrific. all right. that concludes right wing world. speaking of right wing world. we played rush earlier chelsea clinton, she said she could relate to sandra fluke. she and i have something in common, we've both been attacked by rush limbaugh. introduced fluke at a panel -- thank you. she was 30, i was 13 recalling a joke limbaugh made. while holding up her photo sox the white house cat there's a white house dog. i believe if you have the right type of enemies you're doing something right. >> good for her. >> he didn't hold up a photo.

this is what a coward he said, white house dog, came up on a graphic, later said he had no idea it was going on. didn't even stick to it. >> right back on "the stephanie miller show." >>the rest of the media seems like, "ho-hum, no big deal." we've have no choice, we've lost our democracy here. just refreshing to hear. no other television show does that. we're keeping it real.
