offer amnesty benefits without giving the american people even a shred of promise that these things wl not occur. that is why this bill in the senate is so cynical. it appears to not be a good- faith proposal. it is a cynical immigration policy for partisan gain. republicans taking on the chin because of hispanic voters? that is playing party politics with america's immigration policy. that is incomprehensible. taking the national debate on who we are in who we will be and turning it into a partisan political football. host: memphis, tennessee, republican. what do you have to say? debt -- caller: i am a radical republican. host: what does that mean? caller: president hayes in 1881 made a deal with southern states to become president. the construction was ended. here we are, african-americans that have been emancipated and free. but we have no [unintelligible] because of the racm and bigotry that we see. listening to all of this rhetoric, i do not see that they are having a conversation where we can overcome all of this hypocrisy. guest: i am not sure that i understand the caller. but t

[applause] ♪ >> what is julius genachowski proposing? these new net neutrality rules of the road. they have been the work for a year. this is something i think everyone agrees with, the carriers as well as most of the consumer folks out there, is that companies who control the internet should not be -- broadband providers should not be allowed to degrade traffic or blocked traffic. for example, people should be able to get their net flicks video and a service provider cannot degrade that because they do not want them watching that. that is something that everyone agrees on. if you see areas which are unsettled still and both sides arprobabl

we've got to do something.ich wl well, the something is apparently this 2000 page from p over 1 trillion-dollarbill,an which will not have had adequat, time or exposure to the americao people. and apparently come under the schedule laid out by theoment. majority leader, wouldn't evenar mtitled to try to amend it.he now think about that for a in is moment. that which is most important to the american people and the subject of the message that was conveyed in this last election, stop the wasteful washington ha t spending, we are not even going. to be able to amend the billion -- petroleum plus bill that hast been laid before us. malae no i think most people int this body know how important i think international relations te and treaties are including the s.t.a.r.t. treaty, but also forr agree with the colorful, and to buy james carville, for art adviser to president clinton who has a way with words and said the american people don't get a pig's put to the about thert s.t.a.r.t. treaty. well obviously those in thevioue senate to do. we understand its importance.imt but at this moment the most amer

his opposition to the provision is very important to know being a senior member of the committee that wl be working on the senate version of the funding language. i think there are many like senator leahy who have come in the past, been supportive of civilian trial the use of civilian trols as an effective means to combat terrorism but also preserving the president and administration's prosecutorial authority to decide the most appropriate form for these cases. this would be an unprecedented restriction on the administration's ability to move forward with criminal cases in a particular forum. it is unusual for congress to step in and say you cannot try cases in a particular course and preven the administration from pursuing justice. so i think you hear a lot of members of the senate who are concerned with this ideaf restricting the president from being able to move forward with trowels in any given form. host: you said the the administration opposes the language in the house bill, but "the washington post" editorial this morning disagrees with you. it goes on to say this -- guest: certai

my concern is when we're filing for student loans next year, which are based off taxes, wl i be eligible school. >> what matters is you guys are married. so no matter how you file on the f fas fa form, you mus declare your husband's income. in terms of filing jointly or separately in terms of a refund on your taxbill. most married couples, it makes much more sense to file together, jointly so that you qualify for a lot of the tax credits and deductions. run both scenarios if you k but remember, don't go for a huge refund every year. that's not necessarily the thing to do, bause basically the government's holding on to your money. no matter how you file, his income is going to be tax exempt. >> i have bought bonds for my kids since they were born. i was told back then that the interest is not taxable if the child goes t school. my son is now 16, plans on going to college. how can i convert those bonds into a tax free problem so that i can convert that money into college expenses. >> she probably wants a tax free situation, may her income was too high, maybe the child was no longer a depen

no the particular statute need the referenced, only the conduct or that constitutes high crime for wl misdemeanor which is why as iion will explain later the judge motion to dismiss arbuckle i planning charges of violations of 18 usc section 1446 is a fl fatally flawed to readaw the article charges no suchviolatio of violation of that statute and that indeed makes no reference to that code section whatsoever.ommi the house judiciary committee elicit considered how to view theous illicit conduct of judge porteous not only while he wasrior on the federal bench, but priort, and to his appointment. the and indeed during the reconfirmation process itself. we concluded that we could not ignore the judge's correct prior conduct or conduct during the confirmation because it was so his interwoven with the corruption on the federal bench. deplorabl his deplorable handling of the a hospital case while a federal judge, his allies during the ritual hearing, hitting up theh, lawyers for cash the very reason a lawyer was brought into that hospital case to begin whi with. porte all that conduct occur

we should mention one other thing, joshua cokomisarjevsky wl go on trial later this year. >>> it is 7w to the mounting legal troubles facing one of the most popular artists in the country, a guy named thomas kincade. good morning, miguel. >> reporter: chances are if you don't own something by thomas kincade, you know someone who does. but his business is an empire and it's anything but trouble free. a cozy cottage, a calming creek, a snowy sunday. for many, thomas kincade's paintings offer an escape from reality, but for the artist, his work is a financial dream. thomas kincade is the most collected living artist in the u.s., retail sales topped $4 billion. >> i love the light in his paintings. >> reporter: but the self-described painter of light has been flooded with legal issues. in june, his manufacturing division filed for bankruptcy. court documents show he owes an estimated $10 million to creditors. the problems began nearly eight years ago, 27 lawsuits were filed against kincade by gallery owners who claim the artist undercut their sales and oversaturated the market with his wo
