you had joe lieberman, a jew, say this is trampling on religious freedom. this is right of church people that abide by the moral precepts of that religion. if you establish the government to discard a deeply held belief with respect to life at the heart of the catholic church, then the government can take away everything connected with religion. >> greta: suppose he says tomorrow, i thought about this, i think it was wrong. or i want to make sure that we don't step on religious rights of people. we're going to away with this aspect of the rule. s if that happens, does it change the political dynamics or is this -- or do you think she incapable of changing his mind? >> i think it be stuck in people's minds that they don't trust the president on this. he violated when it came to the conscience clause. there were a lot of catholics thought they would apply religious exemptions and it hurt him in 2010 election. but think if you quickly withdrew the regulation he would limit the damage there. you know what, his body language doesn't sound like he is going to be
