thank you michael tomasky. obama isn't going to get anything out of these people. he is just going to have to heisman them, stiff arm them keep them out of the way, prevent them from doing more damage. the republicans want more budget cuts in exchange for raising the debt element. with an improving economy with the public away, we have already endured deep cuts. obama should be sitting in the cat-bird seat, but he is going to be the president who lead the country back from economic disaster. and if the economy keeps growing at the pace of last year he stands to leave office having created several million net jobs. >> so. >> i could have done that. >> stephanie: no you couldn't. no you couldn't boner. right back on the "stephanie miller show." ♪

7:08 am
consequences, and george bush beating john kerry in 2004 with william lindquist on his death bed, this is a very important thing. >> stephanie: jeffery that is absolutely true, you point that out, the two huge decisions that benefited benefited republicans so much. >> and those are the directly political dig -- decisions, but when you look at decisions that advance the political agenda it's an enormous list and the legacy is building as we speak. >> stephanie: you know it's interesting. you write, think john has discovered his inner moderate, don't bet on it. and the point of your piece is that's a little bit deceptive. his decision in the health care
7:09 am
case reflected his place in the history of the court, and you mean how controversial and partisan that would have been. >> correct. and if there had been a 5-4 decision on top of bush v gore on top of citizens united in june of 2012, that is at the heart of last year's president presidential campaign it would have been a very important issue. and roberts managed to diffuse the court almost entirely. but if you look at subsequent decisions and certainly prior decisions, john roberts remains a committed conservative and will remain that way. >> stephanie: you talk about even the ruling in the health
7:10 am
care case it was in a way conservative. because instead he chose a novel ground constitutional power to levy taxes. >> that's right. that's a possibility, and we have to see how that plays out. if you look at the authority congress has used since the new deal to regulate the economy to provide services to people it has almost always been under the commerce clause. congress has the right to regulate commerce among the several states. that has been the key to congress passing all of the laws that we're so familiar with. if you cut back congress's authority under the commerce clause, it is possible you can cutting back congress's authority down the road. that's a long-term project, but
7:11 am
john roberts is a long-term thinker, and that may be a part of what was going on there. >> stephanie: here is what freaks me out. chief justice roberts also gave himself a political freehand for the foreseeable future and has insulated himself because of affordable care. so that's your speculation. >> it is. every chief justice becomes associated with certain issues. earl warren was ending segregation. and i think what john roberts wants to do is end the civil rights movement as we know it. he is deeply committed to ending -- and in the next couple of weeks we'll really find out
7:12 am
how far he is willing to go. >> stephanie: and obviously marriage equality and gay rights. you say look for roberts to lean to the conservative side on all of these issues. and the vote in the health care case will be seen as the great aberration of his career. what does this spell for the prop 8 case? >> the two same-sex marriage cases, they are actually quite different, and i think there is likely to be different resolutions. this look like cases where the court will split 4-4 and leave it up to anthony kennedy. i think kennedy will find a way to strike down doma. i do think they will probably kick proposition 8 back to the
7:13 am
states. i'm very spectacle a they will issue some sort of loving versus virginia type situation, which would say that all 50 states have to have same-sex marriage. i think they know as we all know, that if california were to hold a vote on proposition 8 today it would lose overwhelming overwhelmingly. and the issue is not whether same-sex marriage will come to california, it's when and how, and -- and i think they are likely to return that issue to california. >> stephanie: jeffery what -- and that's certainly what i have heard is the consensus consensus, but then what does that mean? does that mean gay marriage will be immediate in california? are you saying it would have to go back to the vote? >> that depends a lot on how the
7:14 am
opinion is written. i hate to sort of hedge on that but i really don't think -- there are varieties of ways they could do it. there are ways they could write it where same-sex marriage would be legal the day after the opinion in california, there are other ways that would require california to do another initiative or legislative attempt to do it. so i -- i -- a lot of that would -- would come out in the writing of the opinion. >> stephanie: uh-huh. it always -- like i say, this is one of those, you know conversations that has been so ongoing, but this is what has always made me uncomfortable. when i look at the legal parts of this, it just seems the complexity of how there's going to be this patch work legally around the country if that happens, to me it just seems to
7:15 am
offend -- if your marriage is legal here but if you have to move to another state, then you are not married anymore. doesn't this create a legal nightmare? >> well, it does. and this is why david boyds and ted olson, the two lawyers brought this case. their view is this is a fundamental human right, you can't have -- straight people have the right to get married and gay people can't. and what state you live in shouldn't matter. the court tends to proceed cautiously. even liberals like ginsberg, i just did a piece on her, where she said i think roe v. wade went too fast. it would have been better to stick with texas and allow the states to go one on one, and i
7:16 am
don't agree with her. if that were the case abortion would still be illegal in many states. if you move from massachusetts to alabama as a married same-sex couple, you are out of luck and will remain out of luck for the indefinite future. >> stephanie: yeah look at all of these egregious laws in state after state that they are trying to take away a woman's right to choose in one way or another. in some ways -- you have to report a miscarriage to the police within 24 hours or you can go to jail. >> and for all that we are talking about civil rights and voting rights and same-sex marriage, abortion will be back at the supreme court sooner rather than later, and, you know, that is the great issue of -- of the supreme court of the last generation, you know, the struggle to keep roe v.
7:17 am
wade. now what has happened since 1992, the court said well you can't outlaw abortion but you can basically regulate almost anything about it, and the interesting thing will be whether all of these laws all of which are designed to either intimidate or make abortion so difficult and expensive whether those laws are upheld. and i think next term we'll see a bunch of it at the supreme court. >> stephanie: i wish you were happy clappier but you are brilliant none the less. jeffery always a pleasure. thank you so much. >> good to talk to you. >> stephanie: he has one of them there fine legal minds.
