joining me now is criminal defense attorney roy black and defense attorney alan dershowitz, who's also the author of "trials of zion." let me turn to you first, mr. black. from everything you're hearing tonight of this offer that's come forward from strauss-kahn's attorneys, does it seem to be the kind of deal you would expect to be accepted, that he would be released on bail tomorrow? >> i would think so. it's pretty reasonable. putting up that amount of money, wearing an ankle bracelet, living in new york. having private security be sure you're there. that's a typical kind of bail package that's put together in new york. so i wouldn't be surprised if he's released on bail on friday. >> there's obviously huge conjecture from the french that he's in some way either been set up or he's been victimized by the media, that there shouldn't have been these images of him. has he been treated any differently to anybody else would be treated in his position if they weren't well known? >> no, he's treated equally poor that we treat everybody in our criminal justice system. in new york particular

alan dershowitz with who led disagree on many things, getting more of themselves. it is like a club in which you get hired by -- that has been said and there's no comparison. had you did it for 13 years ago there is no comparison. >> following up on that response, do you thing one avenue of counter to the dominance of the left, to come from the elite themselves, in order to get hired at any law school you have to come with the rod agree. and other people from the elite school, is that essentially the only front that is open to countering this trend? >> the problem of bad ideas at harvard or yale, with other ideas has been happening. it is a matter of where you arrange ten more ordinary law schools together that will balance -- ideas have consequences. we always find different ways of getting to the same point. one must have ideas that are -- we have a great organization there. may help people who deserve it from falling by the wayside. christine? >> i am wondering what your thoughts might be on whether some of these wrongheaded ideas translate to lawmakers for exam
