that is a very different story across the pond, where charles evans said the u.s.conomy will probably be strong enough to justify two interest rate increases this year. as we said at the start of the program, a lot of the talk is about how much the u.s. will tolerate above target inflation, even if we are not there quite yet. let us bring in edmund shin g, he joins us today in the studio. great to see you. let us talk little bit about this divergent picture, just how divergent is it in fact for europe versus the u.s.? i have a chart here which shows the eurozone picture with regard to inflation. we have euro area inflation, and in blue we have the euro area core inflation. if you are generous, you could say it is trending up ever so slightly, still at only 1%. statistically anomaly, it is flat. president mario draghi try to do by injecting liquidity into the economy by various different routes, we have him buying corporate credit as well as the usual government bonds, despite all of that, it is not moving. right> what does it tell you, we have no inflation in the e

we've also got some fed speak from chicago fed president charles evans.n interview on "squawk box" with steve liesman ahead of that. >>> now to today's trending stories. nasa planning to test an inflatable house on its next trip to mars. the house will be attached to the international space station. it will be delivered as part of spacex's resupply mission april 8th. this is really cool because apparently it folds up so they can transport it. then it inflates when it gets to space. >> all things space travel, particularly mars, is pretty cool. >> who's going to live in it? >> i'd be happy to go, once they've proved it works. very cool technology. red robin will start selling a burger with a bun made out of ramen noodles. it will be available for about two months after april 4th. the first 22 college students in restaurants that day can get a bottomless meal for 22 cents. not sure about this one. what do you think? >> i think it's already been done. there's a place called ramen burger in brooklyn that's been doing this for a while for hipsters. it's a tren

in an interview today, charles evans said a rate hike in april would be surprising. >> i think chair yellen laid out all the right issues, you know, coming out of december going into the march fomc, risk factors increased a bit, financial volatility, things settled down a bit. i think global risk is higher. the median is for two hikes this year. if the data come in the way we're expecting. if they come in stronger, everybody would adjust upwards. >> evans added the potentially moving in june that decision would be made on the basis of further improvement in the labor market but emphasized he didn't want to get ahead of himself. >>> and there was more evidence today the job market is strengthening. private companies in the united states added 200,000 jobs in march. this according to the payroll processer, adp. the construction, retail and shipping industries all had solid gains but manufacturing employment barely budged. >>> so while the labor market is humming along the same cannot be said for corporate profits. overall, earnings for companies in the s&p 500 are forecast to fall. con

charles evans hughes is working behind the scenes to discredit the plan. especially this notion that the justices are behind in their work. hughes has the leading political reporter for the washington post and provides all sorts of information that become a series of front-page articles that take apart this notion that the court is behind in its work. this is damaging to the plan and its first days. the most damaging thing he lets it be known through brandeis that he might be willing to testify against the plan in the senate. red ice gets cold feet and advises the chief not to do this. talked about other ways to undercut the plan. he writes an open letter to bert very useful to the conservatives. he was a democrat who had been with the president on many things. she was writes a letter to wheeler saying thank you for asking me my views. he devastates the premise of the court plan. there was a cartoon he gets the agreement of two other justices, ,randeis and vande venter saying that this came about so quickly that they didn't have time to consult anybody but

tomorrow morning charles evans will be on this network and talk about inflation. he cited it as one of the reasons in the past that the federal reserve did not move. black rock puts out a great note advising clients to seek protection and do it through gold. inflation is the question right now scott. the fed is skeptical regarding the pick up inflation. why are they skeptical? they have to provide the answers for us today and tomorrow morning. >> pete, does the direction of the rally hinge on what the fed chair says. >> yes. it's really easy. we have been correlated with oil for so long now. when we were down 100 points today it was oil based in terms of the read and moving us down to the down side and sliding. even the dow itself the oil and energy related stocks are part of that. you can see oil down today. that's been the trend and that will continue as well but absolutely scott to answer your question i think that everything that he says will be interpreted time and time again throughout the rest of the day. we'll see a huge reaction on what she has to say. >>

a presidential election year. 1916 was the last effective time, and that's when chief justice charles evanshes decided to leave the court and run for president. we had one other time when judge kennedy was confirmed after-- during a presidential year, but he was nominated in the year before, and that only came after the toxic, you know, bork proceedings where his reputation was really attacked viciously by democrats. and i can tell you this-- if the table were turned and this was-- and the democrats are in charge, i guarantee you-- or skews me, republicans had the presidency-- i guarantee you the democrats would not do anything different from what the republicans are doing. and i think it's only right. >> ifill: so since so much of the toxicity, as you describe it, in this election, has happened on the republican side of the competition, do you worry that if a democrat were elected president, you may have missed a chance to at least hear-- hold a hearing for someone you who might actually find more acceptable than a democrat it's next democrat might nominate? >> i think it's been toxic on b

strong enough to justify to interest-rate increases this year according to chicago's fed president charles evans. his comments came a day after janet yellen said uncertainty stemming from weakness abroad global news 24 hours a day powered by our way for hundred journalists and more than 150 newsrooms around the world. you can find more stories at top . the ecb gets readings this morning on whether their stimulus efforts are beginning to bear fruit. for march, iion don't expect that to climb above zero. hans is standing by. when you read into it it seems to tell a great story. it is the very paradigm of what the ecb would like to roll out across the whole of europe. it solely driven by my household consumption of candy ahead of easter. an earliere, we had easter that showed a little bit more spending because of that and that gave the sense that some of it was driven, not necessarily upward pressure from wages, but spending which is what you want to see. great to have you with us this morning. some us like a little island off at its own within europe, germany. but as far as the ecb is concerne

charles evans saying that increases would not be unreasonable.e: and yesterday, or the day before, we had two or three coming out with hawkish comments. it does not seem as if the fed want to put down the prospect that june is still on the table. the comments we had this week suggest april is still on the table. that is really quite soon. we have seen an uptick in inflation. personal consumption expenditure is the chosen metric. my question to you is this. if that is rising, will yellen lean towards floating above that 2% level? jane: she has indicated between the lines -- she is very concerned about the jobs in america. there is still a consensus that there is more slack in the labor market. think, might be more willing to see inflation go up rather than risk hiking too soon. anna: a quick update on the political story in the united states. utahruz has won the presidential primary. bit of an update on the other runners. manus: jane is going to stay with us. up next, we are going to talk about more from the belgian capital with the latest on the

charles evan hughes, the chief justice, who had been on the court previously in 1910, when he was a student at brown university, not only had no running water or central electricity, he had two closets, one of four stuff, and one for cold to shovel into his heater. favorite, james mcreynolds, the worst human being on the court. he was a such an appalling anti-semi he used to stand up and leave the conference room when brandeis would speak. that, he wasy forced to sit through that ceremony. so he pulled out a newspaper and russell but very loudly throughout the induction ceremony. and he got confirmed. jeffrey: so that is the courts. was: the chief justice hughes. and just to go back to your last western, the other thing to know about this court, they did not use the term at the time, but it was a very activist court. and 1936, they were overturning federal laws faster than the previous rate. the conservative justices really holy war see it as a against communism and anarchy. without descending too m, what wasgal geekdo the rationale that all these new deal laws were unconstitutional? jeff:

and that vacancy only arose when justice charles evans hughes resigned his seat on the court to run against incumbent, president woodrow wilson. key democrats have long expressed strong agreement with the decision to defer the confirmation process in these circumstances. for example, senator chuck schumer, the incoming democratic leader, argued in july 2007 with a year half left in president george w. bush's term and with no supreme court seat even vacate that the senate -- quote -- "should not confirm any bush nominee to the supreme court except in extraordinary circumstances." unquote. and vice president joe biden argued in 1992 when he was judiciary committee chairman -- i was there -- that if a supreme court vacancy occurred in that presidential election year, the senate judiciary committee should seriously consider not scheduling confirmation hearings on the nomination until after the political campaign season is over." unquote. that past practice and the well documented past positions of key democrats certainly support the notion that deferring the confirmation process is an option re

that vacancy arose only because justice charles evans hughes resigned to run against president wilson, woodrow wilson, a completely different situation than we have before us today. third, the judicial confirmation process has become increasingly combative, especially for the supreme court. attempting to conduct this process in the middle of an already divisive presidential election campaign would be especially difficult. fourth, president obama's judicial appointees and justice scalia represent two radically different kinds of judge. this offers the american people a unique opportunity to express through the election their view of the direction that the judiciary should take by electing the president who will make judicial appointments in the next four years. in june 1992, then-judiciary committee chairman joseph biden, a friend of mine, made the very recommendation that we are following today based on some of the very same factors that i just mentioned. in particular, he noted that the appointment process would take place in divided government during a presidential election process

and that vacancy arose only because chief justice charles t evans hughes resigned his seat on the courto run against incumbent president woodrow wilson.nt there's also another president that has received little attention but is worth considering. president john quincy adams nominated john clinton into the supreme court in december 1828, after andrew jackson on the presidential election. the senate by voice vote rejected an amendment to a resolution regarding the nomination that i sorted it is the duty of the senate to confirm or reject a presence nominee. in one of his reports on the confirmation process, the t congressional resource service discussed this vote and, the concluded quote by this action the early summer declined to endorse the principle that proper practice required to consider and proceed to a final vote on every nomination. i believe the president such as the our support the principle that the center must decide for itself how to exercise its power of advice and consent in eache situation. we have another source of guidance for how to exercise the advice and consent powe

presidential election year was in 1916, and that vacancy arose only because justice -- chief justice charles evan hughes resigned his seat on the court to run against incumbent president woodrow wilson. there is also another precedent that has received little attention but is worth considering. president john quincy adams nominated john crittendon to the supreme court in september, after president andrew jackson won the election. the senate rejected a resolution regarding the crittendon nomination that asserted it is the duty of the senate to confirm or reject a president's nominees. in one of its reports on the confirmation process, the congressional research service discussed this vote and concluded -- quote -- "by this action, the early senate declined to endorse the principle that proper practice required it to consider and proceed to a final vote on every nomination." unquote. i believe that the precedents such as they are support the principle that the senate must decide for itself how to exercise its power of advice and consent in each situation. we have another source of guidance for how
