hey, i hope this isn't too late -- >> stephanie: it is. it is too late. i'm kidding. >> caller: about the romney kids on conan. the one thing i didn't see all of it but the one thing that struck me was the cruelty that mitt has found its way into his sons when he commented -- conan commented on there were five boys in the family. was anyone tempted to be raised as a girl and in unison, they turn and look at ben and josh said you want to take that one ben. ben is the blonde, homely ann-looking one. >> stephanie: let's not go there. i honestly can't imagine my dad shoving my face into a stick of butter. >> that's not loving. >> stephanie: who thinks that's endearing? >> you gotta smell this. >> ha, ha, harks ha. >> stephanie: max in l.a., you're on "the stephanie miller show." >> caller: good morning.

you know, when they talk about the super majority, the president allegedly had not only did ted kennedy die but robert burn died and his replacement joe manchin is such an obstructionist, he's not even going to the convention and he's a democrat. mary landrieu blocked many things the president put up. nelson blocked probably 60% of the president's programs. so did blanch lincoln. she lost her job because she was so ineffective. worst of all was joe lieberman who was our nominee for vice president in -- with al gore and he blocked all of the supermajorities. he didn't have that. >> stephanie: they know that when they say that. it makes it sound like the president's been sitting around eating bonbons for three years. >> they lied. >> stephanie: mike in atlanta you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi mike. >> caller: hello there. >> stephanie: hi. >> caller: i tend to agree with john fuglesang, rude pundit and

just the mandate? >> well, i think that's just the way they're going to rule. i don't think they're going to strike down the entire thing because there are way too many tentacles that are legal. however, the individual mandate i think they're going to strike down. >> stephanie: it is not pretty when ruth bader ginsburg lashes out. she's scrappy, that gal. >> she's been hinting at a lot of strikes between the supreme court justices. >> stephanie: you think? she's probably like give me that! stop reading off that! >> stephanie: exactly. stephanie in illinois, you're on the "the stephanie miller show." hi steph. >> caller: hey, how you doing? >> stephanie: good. >> caller: i'm not watching because we have no rain. we've got our first ad -- hello? >> stephanie: yes. >> turn down your radio. hey, it is radio 101. the president on the campaign trail talking about immigration

we did this the wrong way. or for the wrong reasons. >> stephanie: yeah, as for romney, obama said your speaker from yesterday has a different view. in a speech, he said when he makes you promise he'll keep it, he promised to veto the dream act. there you go.

"the washington post" has a revealing article out about 34 members of congress who reworked their financial portfolios within days of meeting with federal officials back in 2008. now house majority leader john boehner was a bush administration's point person in negotiationing the stimulus package and met with treasury secretary henry paulson several times at the end of january in 2008 on the 23rd, the two had breakfast. that same day boehner reportedly sold between 50 and $100,000 from an aggressive mutual fund. the following day, the white house announced the stimulus package. boehner's declined to discuss the transactions. the 34 members of congress who changed their portfolio both

parties equally represented in that. not unethical according to rules but certainly questionable by regular standards. we're back with more after the break. come into red lobster and sea food differently.

outlets, last couple of weeks or so, there's been this completely agreed upon beltway narrative consensus. obama having bad month. obama having bad two weeks. obama suffering worst stretch of presidency. and if you look at those articles, they're almost all void of polling data which is typically how we find out how americans feel. about a president. but the polling never really matches this sort of frenzy you know talking point that they whip up amongst themselves. and so i always -- you know, reporting on the polling isn't the most important thing in an election and media matters we don't spend a lot of time on it. i do love tweaking the narrative and the mindset so last week, low and behold comes this bloomberg poll that has obama up 13 points nationally which is amazing. as i point out up 7 in colorado. up 4 in florida which is

different than what we had seen. and so what -- particularly with the bloomberg poll, all of the pundits, news organizations sort of scurry around to explain how you shouldn't pay attention to this poll. hey, i agree. it doesn't match any other polls, maybe it was -- maybe it doesn't matter. but if you don't see that one obama takes a ding in a poll, it is not don't pay tanks. it is this is -- don't pay attention. it is a double standard. >> stephanie: you say kind of weird. on thursday, "washington post" gave a pinocchio. "washington post" details how bain has outsourced jobs. >> i haven't seen an update from "the washington post" fact checker but yeah, this week, very clear. and "the washington post" fact checker was annoyed because they've hit the obama campaign before for claiming that bain outsourced jobs. they're getting tired of the fact that obama keeps saying it and then friday, i'm pretty sure it was on the front page, long

article in "the washington post" about how bain you know, time and again outsourced or they call it offshored jobs. so hey maybe the obama campaign was on to something. it does sort of highlight if you're going to fact check. if your only rule is to fact check the assertions, let's get them right before you start calling people, campaigns dishonest. >> stephanie: exactly. by the way, you and i have this conversation. great piece on -- sort of the -- is this disrespect unprecedented? as you say yes. you talk about neil monroe's infamously brazen act at the white house. you say predictable because the g.o.p. noise machine has for years depicted obama as dictator/criminal of someone unworthy of respect which is how monroe treated him. you draw the comparison what is becoming mainstream is really unbelievable, isn't it? >> i think people who remember

the clinton years were amazed how nasty the right wing was against clinton made some -- rush limbaugh making jokes about his daughter and the way they went after hillary clinton and people were sure we would never see anything like that again and sure enough, when george bush was elected president everyone talked about how you had to respect the office and first family was off-limits and all of that stuff. boy, what we've seen since inauguration day, there was no right wing blogosphere during the clinton years. that swung open the gates to all of the crazies who have access to the platform and are cheered and people like neil monroe are just sort of acting out this hatred that ferments on the internet. >> stephanie: i think you say it perfectly. unfortunately the casual tone of oval office disrespect that's become a hallmark of right wing media has found pockets of acceptance even within the mainstream press. you mentioned yes, it was "time" magazine's mark halprin who

called obama a [ bleep ] the d word on television. talk about casual disrespect. they think is okay now. >> halprin has written columns how obama is ignorant and clueless and over his head. i pointed out to, an innocuous piece in "the new york times" a few days go about how obama blames the bush administration for the economy. "the new york times" wrote that basically obama runs the risk of looking like a crybaby. we don't usually, in news stories, in "the new york times," refer to the president of the united states as a crybaby. >> stephanie: especially when the majority of the american people who agree with him. it is bush's policies that got us where we are. >> it was a sign of using casual flippant language. in "the new york times" that would have been unheard of. i think -- as i pointed out gee, who's been using the word crybaby regarding obama? sean hannity.

>> has been calling obama a crybaby for blaming the bush administration. lo and behold, here it is seeping in "the new york times." >> stephanie: when you can't tell the difference between sean hannity and "the new york times," our point is made. let's dive into the right-wing world. bill o'reilly on the fast and furious panel which is worse than watergate as you know. >> the story is all about the family of brian terry the border patrol agent killed by a gun lost by the feds in the fast and furious gun scandal. his parents want to know what happened. and they have a right to know that. if it were your son or daughter killed in a government screwup you would want to know all the details as well. again, mr. and mrs. terry have a right to know the entire story as to how their son was killed. but the obama administration doesn't want to explain the situation. that's how simple the story really is. the terries want to know, the president doesn't want to tell them. that's it. >> stephanie: oh boy. >> so we now have a huge

controversy. >> a huge controversy. >> if you wanted the whole story, the thing was started during the bush administration under mick acie. >> there's something called the inspector general who is now overseeing a very large investigation over the fast and furious and the white house is given the inspector general complete access to everything they need. what's going on in congress has nothing to do with finding out what happened -- with the terry family. that is a specific investigation that is being overseen and the white house completely cooperating. the nonsense in terms of holder, in fast and furious on capitol hill has nothing to do with that. that is just a game of gotcha because they're chasing this crazy conspiracy theory that obama's running guns to mexico in order to take away your guns in america. >> stephanie: by the way i thought -- one analysis of that,

o'reilly was talking about border patrol agent terry was murdered after a gun battle with a group of five mexican bandits. two assault weapons had serial numbers matched. neither could be linked to the bullet that killed terry. they were weapons that gun runners purchased and smuggled to mexico. the fact that atf agents were watching them do so and tracking serial numbers does not mean they were quote-unquote our weapons. they would have gone to the same places the fast and furious was launched and terry would still be dead. they're trying to turn this into watergate over this. >> darrell issa was on "meet the press" and when asked he conceded the white house has had no involvement in fast and furious. no one is defending it. the program is over. the government is investigating what went wrong. the government investigation has complete access to the documents they need. that's not the controversial.

what's going on, like i said, republicans are chasing this crazy right wing blogosphere conspiracy theory that literally obama is running guns because he wants to take away everyone -- >> stephanie: again this is -- this isn't right wing lunatic fringe. this is darrell issa on fox news. he gets to have subpoena power and he's a believer in this crazy conspiracy theory. >> joe mccarthy. >> if the inspector general is inspecting everything and has full access to everything the white house has on this, why is this investigation going on in the first place? >> there was an interesting piece, i think it was in the daily beast over the weekend and they were reporting from the conversations that isa's office had with the doj and they basically wanted a scalp. they realized this thing was going nowhere. they needed to show the right wing so they wanted someone high up in the justice department to resign and then they could go back and say we got it. we held them accountable. we're done.

but they're looking for an exit strategy because none of this makes sense. my other quick point i love is the right wing claim that the liberal media is ignoring this huge conspiracy about the fast and furious. every news organization over the last two years has looked at this and every news organization has come to the same conclusion of what are you talking about? show us the evidence where obama was running guns in order to take them away. none of this makes any sense. >> we don't need no stinking evidence. >> especially since the program was begun under the bush administration. >> there was a similar program under the bush administration. >> stephanie: that's how clever the president is. >> they're looking into what went wrong. where is the controversy here? >> stephanie: exactly. eric boehlert remains in the sidecar. we continue right-wing world right after this on "the stephanie miller show." >> announcer: this is her political party and she'll cry if she wants to it. is "the stephanie miller show."

media talk about how obama -- he must be in trouble with the youth vote. he must be in trouble with the jewish vote. he must be in trouble with the hispanic vote. none of this has ever backed up. overwhelming majority, i know they've been pounding the unemployment rate for youth voters but the idea that they're just going to vote on whether they have a job or not. i mean typically voters are interested in lots -- of an array of issues. this idea that obama has lost the youth vote, to who? mitt romney? >> stephanie: he's the one of course having to say stop playing chicken with the student loan rates and do it. okay lou dobbs on hannity. >> i do believe if you do see an uptick in markets strong uptick, a change in the -- if you will, the climate more positive, it will be because in fact, people are getting a sense that governor romney is more likely to win the election. >> stephanie: you see how that works? markets are going to go up because they're thinking --

romney is going to be in. >> so funny to listen to these people using the stock market to fulfill their agenda, you know. because the market goes down 200 points, obama hates capitalism but if it -- it might go up. look i think days after dobbs said that, the market actually went down 200 points last week. if i'm not mistaken. >> stephanie: the market is more affected by lou dobbs opening his pie hole. >> the only thing funnier than them talking about the stock market is them talking about future gas prices. >> stephanie: exactly. >> which are now down for 11 weeks. >> stephanie: monica crowley on fox news. >> there are some documents that have been produced that there were discussions in the white house among the president among the attorney general that they wanted to seek some sort of pretext to crack down on second amendment rights. we haven't seen the evidence yet. it is speculation. this administration is either out of touch or that has engaged in constitutional abuses or has violated the rule of law on

other things whether it is the illegal immigration move. whether it is because -- >> actually aliens -- >> whether it is obama care which is so constitutionally dubious the supreme court will rule on it this coming week. it fits into a broader story line that this administration generally has been out of control. >> based on -- >> there it is. >> stephanie: you dive in, eric. >> you talk about fishing expedition. we want to see the documents because there's kind of sort of rumors that there is a discussion about obama wanting to take away your guns. you know. this is straight on out of the nra playbook. they've been telling us about how obama wants to take away his guns. obama hasn't mentioned guns in four years. neither do democrats. >> which is proof he wants to take they're guns away. more proof. >> stephanie: even more proof. >> that is the argument now. >> the absence of evidence is evidence. >> exactly. >> stephanie: exactly. did he accidentally say something true? >> republican brand name is in terrible shape. >> stephanie: oops. >> people are not naturally

sympathetic to the republicans in congress. they're not naturally sympathetic to congress as an institution but certainly not to the republicans. any time the republicans do anything big or bold, they run the risk of people not liking it just because of them doing it. and also people don't like the idea of capping out their medicare -- seeing their medicare exploded. >> in reference to the holder sort of witch-hunt and congress spending all of this time debating whether they're going to cite the attorney general on this conspiracy theory but you know, he has been in d.c. awhile. i think he realizes when the party goes off the rail and you know, during an election season, when supposedly you're obsessed with jobs, you're going to spend a whole last week talking about this conspiracy theory that you claim the attorney general is a part of it. and how it is worse than watergate. people who live in d.c. just must -- who live there a few decades. they must laugh when they hear

[ ♪ "world news tonight" ♪ ] obviously we're all scrambling to get the details. i know some are casting this as a victory for the president. the supreme court has struck down key parts of the arizona immigration law. what is your quick take on what you've heard thus far? >> i think it is stating the obvious. i don't think we can have 50 different immigration policies in the united states. i think that the one in arizona was animated by nothing but racism and i'm not surprised the supreme court struck down three parts of it. i'm only surprised they maintained one. >> stephanie: yeah that's what's confusing. we were trying to go through what they maintained. >> the court did uphold one of the provisions, a requirement that local police officers check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws if reasonable suspicion exists that the person is in the united states illegally. that seems to go against the provision that they struck down saying that immigrants are required to carry their papers. or whatever. >> well, i think that what the

court may have been saying was that they're going to review these on a case by case base. i think we're judging whether it is constitutional or not. a situation like that could depend a lot on the facts of the case. maybe we'll see lots of litigation on this over the future. >> stephanie: eric boehlert was on with us saying does this mean you can read the tea leaves on what they're going to do with healthcare or not. what do you think? >> no. >> stephanie: that's what he said. i just wanted to see if you concurred. obviously it looks like the ruling will either be today on healthcare or on thursday. you know and again we have all of the scenarios i was reading a "wall street journal" piece, the entire law is upheld, the insurance mandate is struck down, higher slaw struck down or just the mandate in two related provisions. do you have any sense of which way they're going to go on that? >> if they strike it down at all, they should strike down the mandate of nothing but the mandate. the question is one of

severability and seerability is the question of whether it can be upheld while the rest of the law is struck down. that's supposed to be a function of two things. what was intended by congress and whether the law can function if parts of it are only parts of it are intact. i can tell you i voted on it. i think it is fair to say that the people who voted in favor of that law intended that whatever parts the law could be found unconstitutional would be found constitutional. that's why we voted on it. we don't vote on things to have them found unconstitutional. we vote on things on the premise that they're constitutional. we want them kept that way. so the intent of congress really isn't an issue in this case. and i don't think that whether the law can operate separately is really much of an issue either. i mean the parts of the bill that matter most to human beings to people living in the united states who need health coverage are things like the bar against discriminating against people for pre-existing conditions. obviously that can be upheld

regardless of whether there is a mandate. the extension of coverage to people's children under -- up to the age of 26, that can be upheld. the affordability credits that are going to get people discounts on their insurance big discounts on their insurance starting next year, that can be upheld. the extension of medicaid, that can be upheld. if the court is going to make rational decision or respect for the president, they leave the rest of it alone. >> stephanie: i know tom harken says he will respond swiftly to any adverse supreme court ruling with legislation to reicstitute parts of the healthcare law that got struck down. what is going to -- talk about the original mess and trying to go et this done. what do you think is going to happen congressionally should that happen? >> i don't think we'll see anything like that between now and the end of the year. if the democrats retake the house and hold on to the senate and the presidency, you might see something like that happen but it's going to have to happen with the same way the original bill was passed at least in

parts of the reconciliation process because the republicans will dig in their heels again. they won't let anything like that get through the house this year and next year will be just a function of who's in charge. >> stephanie: so your point is we need to get more alan graysons and elizabeth warrens. >> i'm far too humble to say that. i'll let other people say that, for me. >> stephanie: it is interesting, on every subject obama -- accuse mitt romney and his party for rooting for bad economic news to improve their chances of winning which i think is becoming abundantly clear. he also welcomed back reporters who had accompanied romney on his bus trip or the tour of states that are doing better but not because of obama tour. it is incredible in your state to watch what's his name, scott try to take credit. the romney camp had to actually tell him to shush about how well the economy is doing in florida. the whole thing is -- romney's game plan is to say nothing do nothing and wait for the billion

dollars of free advertising to come his way from the multinational corporations. and the billionaires who get rid of a democratic president. i mean nothing came out of that bus tour. nothing. i think that if we had been following romney around during the bus tour, we heard him say -- gee i didn't know they made limos this big. other than that, nothing. i mean they're going to run a campaign that's like the seinfeld show. a campaign about nothing. and just wait for the negative ads to hit the president. >> stephanie: alan, is he going to get away with that? can you really get through an entire campaign without really stating exactly what your plan is on anything? >> absolutely. you know, they can put a ham sandwich up against the president and that's negative ads will hit the president over and over and over again just like in our campaign in 2010. the republicans aren't even going to nominate somebody against me until mid august. already the negative ads start

for juveniles and no life without parole for other juvenile crimes that don't involve killing. the supreme court also struck down most of arizona's immigration law as we've been discussing. it said okay to police having to check papers if they stop someone and have a reasonable doubt as to their legality but it said no to provisions that would make it a crime for illegal immigrants not to have their federal registration cards or to work or look for work. it also said that state and local police cannot arrest illegal immigrants without a warrant. in other news, the conservative group americans for prosperity has filed a right to know request to uncover the identity of and an anonymous donor picking up the tab for public safety expenses related to the president's trip to new hampshire today. the town, he's going to, durham, estimates it is going to have to spend $25,000 to $30,000 in police and fire year time costs for the president's visit. the campaign says this is not something they take care of. it falls to government authorities. americans for prosperity says the people have a right to know. we'll see what happens.

four of them have to go and the fourth has to be limited. and so judge scalia, governor brewer is declaring victory on a partial victory on one of the sections. it is the most important section. it is the section that requires law enforcement officials to check about the immigration status of people they encounter and otherwise unlawful arrest. it is the provision that is most likely to cause racial profiling. and so it is definitely a troubling -- it is definitely troubling that the supreme court has let that go into effect. but they do require or effectively require that -- even that provision gets limited and the court struck down three other very important provisions of the act and said they were in conflict with federal law which is a very big deal. >> stephanie: so doug, chris the way you explained this to me for us lay people out there --

>> sure. >> stephanie: i think the president talked about you're going out for ice cream with your family and you get pulled over and asked for your papers. for a lay person, how do you explain this? you can't just be pulled over for looking quote-unquote like you're illegal right? >> there's the question of what is a lawful stop. if you're just out having ice cream, you shouldn't be pulled over in the first place. there will be challenges to how this provision is implemented. if it is clear that arizona cops joe arpaio is pulling over people for being brown in arizona, then he should be slapped down under the claws in another challenge to the act. but the court does let the show your papers provision as part of a lawful stop, go into effect and what they say though is that

you cannot hold people -- the law has to be interpreted in a way that arizona can't hold people while they verify their status. and so that's -- that's a limitation. again, i will emphasize the court was very clear federal government has a preeminent role in sitting immigration policy in this country and they struck down three of the four provisions and they limited the four. and made it very clear that the obama administration's position that the federal government is held since the beginning of the republic that federal government has the authority to set uniform rules in this area, as has been vindicated by the supreme court. it is a very important thing. >> stephanie: doug, that's exactly what i was going to say. my sense is this is what the president's argument was in the first place. you can't have this patchwork around the country that this should be under federal

government policy. >> that's exactly right. that is more or less vindicated in this opinion at least as justice kennedy described it front of the court. justice scalia handed it out outside the court. it was really something that he was more -- it was more appropriate for fox news than for the supreme court. so it was very heated opinion. just chief justice roberts and justice kennedy's side with the liberal wing and the court. which -- >> stephanie: say that again. justice roberts and justice kennedy. >> it was a 5-3 ruling because justice baden didn't participate. it was 5-3 with chief justice roberts and justice kennedy siding with the liberal wing of the court to uphold the obama administration.

most parts of the law. >> stephanie: doug is there anything to extrapolate in this on what will be now thursday, at thursday's healthcare ruling? in terms of -- this is what romney is saying now. don't let the states do their own healthcare, right? >> he is. and you certainly could argue that the same arguments that supports the obama administration arguments against fp1070 support the obama administration arguments for the healthcare law. i would be surprised a little bit if they get the same -- the same coalition of justices on that case. but we'll see. it is the same basic premise that the federal government in certain areas has particular authority. the one thing that is different is the power over immigration and naturalization has the term uniform in it.

the constitution actually uses the term uniform so the argument we were making in particular in this case is that gives special authority to the federal government in this area and really makes state intrusion in this area particularly suspect. and that seems like it influenced the opinion at least a little bit. >> stephanie: doug, you mentioned scalia and i've said that before, sometimes it sounds like he's doing fred lunt's talking points. the fact the court seems so politicized like that, does that worry you in terms of healthcare reform because you know, even some of the ways he's phrased arguments in that. >> i mean it is really dis deserving are just way too political for the supreme court. he brought into the case today

the obama recent enforcement decision which was totally outside the scope of what was before the court and he just -- he railed against the president's decision to -- to exercise -- >> stephanie: you're right doug. this has nothing to do with this -- >> has nothing to do. >> stephanie: with the arizona law. >> justice scalia decided to bring it in and what can only be considered a demagogue speech that you would expect by jan brewer or chris cobeck but not a supreme court justice. >> stephanie: the tragedy is if this is struck down, they were saying that if they had called it a tax that might have -- you know what i mean, made a no-brainer. constitutionally, they could never have got than passed politically because they've signed a pledge not to america but to grover norquist. >> certainly republicans have been putting the pledge to norquist. which is disturbing trend in

american politics. >> stephanie: this latest ruling on balance a victory for the president in your opinion. >> absolutely. >> stephanie: doug, thank you so much for joining us on such short notice. the u.s. constitution.org and doug kendall is the president and founder of the presidential constitutionality center. >> thanks for having me on. >> he was great. >> stephanie: he was good and understandable.

[ ♪ "world news tonight" ♪ ] >> stephanie: let's talk about the bad dudes first. by a 5-4 vote, they struck down montana's 100-year-old ban on corporate election spending without allowing an argument. it reverses the supreme court decision that upheld the law did due to the state's dramatic history of corruption. i know that the -- people were hoping this would revisit the disastrous citizens united ruling right? >> that's right. it is not a shame but it is unfortunate. rather, it is not a surprise but it is a shame. what happened here is that montana, the montana supreme court gave the finger to citizens united and it presented an opportunity for the supreme court to realize oh, wait a second, where we said that letting corporations spend as much money as they want won't lead to corruption in our system, turns out that was wrong. and the 5-4 court today said

that they would not reconsider that opinion. and that means that citizens united is here probably until we get some new personnel on the supreme court. >> stephanie: mmm. you know, i know this is like a -- sort of an opinion question but is that part of it? they don't want to admit they're wrong, essentially? >> i think that they honestly believe they're right. it is funny. there was a poll that came out recently that said more americans believe in spells and witchcraft, that was a quote from one poll, than agree with the citizens united decision. so, you know, the five justices may be the only people in america who think that citizens united was correctly decided. they're clinging to that belief. >> stephanie: hmm. let's talk about arizona the immigration law. obviously the early report casting as a victory for the president and meanwhile governor jan brewer is claiming it is a victory for her or for the rule of law. break this down for us. they obviously struck down key

elements of it. >> right. so the obama administration got about 85% of what it wanted here >> stephanie: like i said, a win for jan brewer. >> exactly. 15% win for jan brewer. what happened is that there's various provisions in the arizona law that create new crimes including a crime basically making it if you try to work as an undocumented immigrant, if you try to be in arizona and you don't have papers, it is now a crime. all of that was struck down. the bad news is that the so-called show me your papers provision, the provision requiring police to check people's immigration status was not struck down. but it was limited. so that arizona can't detain people for extra time in order to -- in order to determine their immigration status. so someone's jaywalking, the court says that they can't then take them to jail for jaywalking

and let them sit in a jail cell while we wait and find out whether the person is a citizen or not. so you know, most of the provisions that were challenged were struck down. the one that was upheld was limited. so you know, the obama administration i think had a pretty good day in court today. >> stephanie: ian obviously the tea leaf game of the day is what is -- does this mean anything for the healthcare ruling on thursday and if so, what is it? >> i mean i think i'm cautious to read tea leaves. i will say that the oral argument we had in the sp1070 case did not go well. you know, i did not think that they were going to limit the show me your papers provision in the way they did and we got a better opinion today than i would have expected from the oral argument we had several weeks ago. we also had an oral argument that didn't go so well in the healthcare case so hopefully this means we're again get a better opinion than -- and that

the justices in both cases were just sort of venting. >> stephanie: i know your area of expertise is the law. i'm wondering politically i heard one person speculate what is the best-case scenario of the four scenarios that could happen. if it is upheld in its entirety, it could mobilize the republican base. how do you see this playing out legally and politically? >> i was under the impression that the republican base is pretty darn motivated over this. you know, i'm not one of those people who thinks that sort of folks who show up dressed as paul revere and hold signs in front of the capitol need anymore motivation right now to keep dressing like paul revere.

[ applause ] the fox news -- the republican

party has concluded obama is a 21st century nixon because he tried to cover up his manifest crimes. hey, only republicans are allowed to do that. he breaks it down, right chris? he basically says here is a list of the things you're likely to hear and why they're lies. number one obama's attempting to cover up the white house's role in fast and furious. we just heard that clip on -- chris wallace, do you have any evidence? no. i do not. >> but i have spidey sense. it tells me that the fact that there's no evidence proves there's evidence. >> stephanie: right. gawker says [ bleep ] investigating an operation that took place from november 2009 and was launched in january of 2011 when the indictments that resulted were unsealed. obama only inserted privilege over post-february 4th documents, documents generated after fast and furious were shut down. if any documents exist showing a connection between the white house and fast and furious while

it was running obama claimed he became aware of it after it was shut down. once again that's why that's bull. [ bleep ] okay. we move on. boehner says the decision to revoke documents reaching the communications cerchg the president advisors raises very serious questions. >> so serious i don't have -- i will have a drink on it. gawker writes bull [ bleep ] george w. bush repeatedly invoked it over documents beyond communication concerning the president and close advisors. boehner wasn't raising very serious questions about it back then. he goes through case after case including in 2008, bush into the leaking of valerie plame's name which we talked about. >> i can't say whether the question -- what the questions are because they're secret. >> stephanie: no serious questions. >> stephanie: here's another one. bush invoked executive privilege

but never to cover up crimes. bull [ bleep ] no one has articulated what crime obama is covering up here. the talking point obama is knicks sonian, bull [ bleep ] you know what is nixonian. like cheney. he's the guy who nixonian urged his boss to urge george w. bush to invoke executive privilege to keep harriet meyers were testifying about the firing. that's pretty damn nixonian. you know what else? hatching a plot to launch a right wing network out of the nixon white house. and then -- then i went over this piece from gawker before about the fact that this same water patrol agent -- border patrol agent would have been dead. these were not our own weapons. they were weapons gun runners

smuggled. the fact atf agents were watching them do so, they were r weapons. precisely the same would have gone to precisely the same places if fast and furious had never been launched and terry would still be dead. >> which proves that obama's trying to take your guns away. >> stephanie: he concludes by saying anyone in the republican party unless they joined in january of 2009 who has no interest in congressional oversight and every interest in generating a partisan [ bleep ] storm to damage their enemies. thank you, gawker.

if your breathing suddenly worsens your throat or tongue swells you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? ask your doctor if spiriva can help.
