justice ginsburg: yes. mr. shapiro: is that the question, justice ginsburg? i don't think you need a warrant to require somebody to put his finger to his nose or to walk a straight line or to stand on one foot. i would not say that that is a search within the meaning of the fourth amendment that triggers the warrant requirement. but there is no doubt that putting a needle in somebody's arm triggers a warrant requirement. and i think there are really two chief justice roberts: what about a breathalyzer, do you need a warrant for that? mr. shapiro: i think you probably do need a warrant for a breathalyzer, your honor. but -missouri's position is you not only don't need a warrant for a breathalyzer, you don't need a warrant for a blood test. and we don't -- this is not a breathalyzer case. chief justice roberts: i know what missouri's position is, and i know it's not a breathalyzer test. but if the logic of your position leads to the requirement of a warrant for breathalyzer, that would be pertinent in analyzing your position. mr. shapiro: i think, your honor, i

(applause) >> good afternoon, everybody. it's such a pleasure to join monique and our port commissioners and the mayor and port staff and the department of public works celebrating this incredible investment in the port, which is such a significant part of our treasured open space portfolio in san francisco. but most of all, mark beale and i are here to thank the community, to thank all of you for supporting park bonds, the 2008 clean and safe neighborhoods park bonds provided almost all of the $10 million of investment in where we are standing today. and thanks to the 72% of san franciscans that voted yes in november of '12, we have another couple million dollars that will work on a little ways down the south area. you can see it. we'll be able to renovate the next piece of this incredible vista and open space. so, we just want to celebrate our tremendous sister agency. here's to open space and here's to recreation and her

ambassador mark ginsburg. joy ann reid, ron reagan, and susan del percio. all right, gang, i appreciate your patience. one thick, it's deja vu all over again on the hill. yesterday, secretary of state hillary clinton was appearing before her hearing about the benghazi situation of four months ago where we lost four americans on september 11th of 2012 in the consulate attack. they say, politically, what struck us about secretary of state hillary clinton's appearance is it marked the end of her four-year honeymoon with republicans especially as we begin to turn to 2016. i want to remind everybody how that went with republicans yesterday. >> the answer is frankly that you have given this morning are not satisfactory to me. >> had i been president at the time and i found you did not read the cables from benghazi, you did not read the cables from ambassador stevens, i would have relieved your of your post. >> you let the consulate become a death trap. >> i want to talk to you about this first, ron. given the fact that the secretary of state has had an unparallel

ginsburg, we regret that but that's why we're here. when the department doesn't want to work with the union and its members, we know what we have to do. what i would like to submit to the commission, what i would like to submit to the commission are documents and then walk right through them, they're important documents, we think they're self-explanatory, they don't need to be characterized by the union but we think those who are familiar with the labor liabilities, these are -- we are having grievances that have quite a bit of financial claims against this department and the city, so if we go through the package, the first item is a grievance sent by the union, it is a settlement by the rec and park back in the summer, i believe, this was due to problems to settle an eeoc lawsuit emanating from the rangers trailer of overtime, the document behind that is the overtime report, we ask you to take a close look, especially the labor representatives, we're informing you that our contract provides mandatory, that it must be distributed evenl

the israelis did in 2007 when syria started moving toward developing a nuclear capability. >> mark ginsburgaccounts said the israeli bombing is close to damascus. >> yeah. one of the issues here, larry, is that there are weapons of mass destruction that are seeping out of their storage depots and we have picked up intelligence reports over the last few months. this is certainly not the first where the israelis went on high alert the last few days because they were concerned that there had been indications that some of the weapons of mass destruction had been transferred into the hands of hezbollah. so that attack could have basically been aimed at destroying one of the supply depots for the weapons were binary. >> larry, egypt may be falling apart before our eyes. the egyptian defense minister has said the military may have to take the situation over. it looks like president morsy lost control. it looks like the muslim brotherhood lost control. in fact, the whole thing looks like a mistake. i want to ask you, how close are we to a military regime in egypt? >> i don't think we're very close.

i think the real issue is, will the republican party remove the power grabs, which ben ginsburg, who you mentioned, oversaw in the convention rules committee, and i'm submitting a motion to repeal all those power grabs that can be repealed, by the republican national committee. and there's a lot of support on the national committee for that. >> i imagine there would be. and the state, when it comes to national committee, very much state-based power situation. the state base always usually wins those fights, but does it say or does it reflect on mitt romney that there was sort of a lack of passion for him, that when it came to these state conventions, two and three months later, when it was clear that he was the nominee, he struggled at these state conventions, up against these ron paul supreme courts? >> well, the convention process is open at the bottom. and anybody who wants to participate is free to do so. >> so why wasn't mitt romney's people doing a better job there? >> well, they just got out-organized. your activity at the ground level counts a whole lot. in the presidential e

>> i think it's going to be rouge bader ginsburg. she's 79 years old.he's the oldest of the justices. she's been serving since the clinton administration. and so if you want to call it that, she is the most likely one to retire during the president obama's second presidency. >> i'm sure you're familiar with the op-ed in "the new republic." in it they argued that justice ginsburg and breyer should preemptively retire so that obama is replace them with like minded liberals. what do you think about that process? >> well, that will be very unfortunate. if you look at how politicalization is working for the rest of government with congress getting, as you said, 14% approval rating and profoundly unproductive in the last session, that's not what the american people or the justices want from the court. that's not how they understand its role as you noted it's got a really important role in protecting and vindicating civil rights in this country. i think that's what people want to see it doing. >> when posed this question whether this is politicizing the court,

. >> justice ginsburg told my i would love my time with you. >> and she opened with humor, a theme she continued throughout the talk. the associate justice of the supreme court has been serving since august 2009, she said she loves her work and others find it boring hearing 60 to 80 cases a year, spending two work weeks in the court room and the rest of the time spent reading and writing. she talked about impacting countless lives each and every time they made a decision. >> it keeps you humble. you are not god. because hopefully god is more merciful than sometimes you can be as a judge. but more importantly, that no matter how good an answer you think you have given, someone is going to feel there's an injustice. >> boy, that quieted the crowd. >> now, the justice also saying that affirmative action helped her quite a bit. she got into princton, she told people to work hard when they get the foot in the door. she stuck to one supreme court decision which is not to touch on the hot button topics like same sex marriage or the affirmative action or immigration reform, i should say. we wi

to hug the rather fierce but rather small figure of 79-year-old supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburgy at the capitol luncheon that was filled with all the washington vips, and president obama had that moment with ruth bader ginsburg, that physical contact, that hug between that particular justice and this particular president was a very real manifestation of the consequences of this election we just had. today outside the supreme court, as they do every year on the anniversary of roe, anti-abortion groups protested, expressing their view that it should be illegal to get an abortion in this country. there were also counter-protests, people and groups supporting the decision defending abortion rights. the anniversary of the roe v. wade decision at the supreme court is one of the rare places where you actually see scenes like this where you have demonstrators who are against abortion rights right along side demonstrators who are for abortion rights. and they're all showing up together on this day at the same place with their duelling messages. you rarely see that. but you see that today
