from pennsylvania had the distinction of being the senators with the first two numbers, william mcclay and robert morris. numbers one and number two. we've had 1000 -- 945 united states senator in our history. and i have the fortunate distinction of holding a very special number. my number is 1776. and so i've always thought it very fondly of the extraordinary historical consequence of that number. and which each senator does with that distinction and that number through his or her career for as long as they are there, from the very first moment you are aware of its powerful linkage really to the history going back to our founders. to the errors and gardeners of america of self governance. and ideal whose freedom we swear to uphold, and must pass on to future generations undiminished. eight years after i was sworn in, i had another good fortune to be elected the democratic leader on my colleagues -- by my colleagues. i was elected on one boat. and so with that precarious beginning i started my current not only as united states senator, but as the democratic leader in the united states senate. and

williams is outside the supreme court for us. pete, there was an interesting exchange between chief justice roberts and the government's top lawyerng his point that the law does note accurately reflect the current conditions as opposed to what they did when congress approved this. the chief justice asked the lawyer for the obama administration which is the state that has the worst ratio of african-american voter registration and turn out to whites? the answer is massachusetts. mississippi he said has the best. his point being and i think most of the conservatives seem to agree with him here, the coverage area no longer fits the problem. the conservatives almost i would say to a person at least five seem to think that's the fatal problem with this law. the liberal members seem to think it's good enough. a close enough fit. that's really what the question is here. the supreme court it seemed likely to be on the verge of striking down at least the part of theula law for the coverage here. nay have a new new map to get it going here. >> thanks as always. let's spin on this. it's treacherous to talk about sometimes because any secret

williams is the justice correspondent for nbc. thank you for joining us. you're such an expert on this. i have to ask you to think about and speak about the commentary from justice robertsthe chief justice and justice scalia today. what was that all about? >> i think we can assume that justice scalia based on what he said four years ago that he was going to vote against it that it seemed clear today. justice roberts, we are watching him closely as well. he asked a lot of questions of the obama administration's lawyer here saying which state does a better job of registering and getting a turnout of african-american voters compared to whites? he said the answer is mississippi. which does the worst? the answer is massachusetts. the point being he says the areas covered by the law may not be where the problem is. that's what the whole argument came down to today, i think, chris. is the voting rights act passed and reenacted in 2006 still a fit? does it still cover where the problems are? now, the four liberals on the right said yes. it may not be a perfect fit, but it's close enough. they said the areas covered by the law represent about a quarter of the population, but acc
