her career in academia tells us relatively little about her views on legal issues. in 14 years as a professor, she published only nine articles. and her tenure in the academy was marred in my view by her decision to punish the military and would be recruits for a policy don't ask don't tell and the solomon amendment enacted by members of congress and signed into law by president clinton. despite this relatively thin paper trail, there are warning signs that she may be exactly the results-oriented justice president obama is looking for. consider, for example, the judges that ms. kagan says she most admires. ms. kagan has called israeli supreme court justice her judicial hero. justice barack is someone widely acknowledged as someone who took an activist approach to judging. described as creating a degree of judicial power undreamed of even by our most aggressive supreme court justices. ms. kagan identified thurgood marshall as another one of her legal heroes. justice marshall is a historic figure in many respects. and it is not surprising that as one of his clerks, sh

academia, industry, and government. there is little or no repercussion. in fact, it is considered a boom if they can show ways that they can get into, how they can compromise, how they can gain access into the networks, whether their government or industry. my concern is, is cyber command along with other agencies along with industry in the united states actually going to address this? because i think as we look in the future, that is where the real threat lies. this is people brought up in learning how to do what we are trying to do. >> i think the way to redress that is by establishing the rules of the road. -- i think the way to address that. when all can agree, this is going to be the way we are going to operate, and we all agree on it, that will go a long way towards getting there, and that he will be how we ensure that we all i ensure it equally? that is not a u.s. cyber com lead. i say it is an international issue that has to be addressed and put on the table. >> i am with "the wall street journal." thank you for joining us, sir. what is your role

nation states with little or no division between academia and government. students raised with the role of promoting their government's goals. there's little or no repercussion for them. in fact, it's looked at in terms of probably a boon to their academic endeavors or their industrial endeavors if they can show ways that either they can get into, how they can compromise, how they can gain access into our networks, international networks, whether they're government, whether they're industry. my concern is how is -- is cyber command along with other agencies, along with industry in the united states actually going to address this? because i think as we look in the future, that's where our real threat lies. these are people brought up in how to do what we're trying to learn how to do. >> i think it goes back to the commerce issue that was asked earlier. i think the way to address that is by establishing the rules of the road. it's going to take all countries to get together and fix that. when all countries can come up and agree this is going to be the way we'

will be in a meeting of state and local representatives and federal partners and representatives of academia. we are going to talk about the proposals by the state of louisiana to discuss it -- to construct barrier islands or berms both to the west of the mississippi and east toward the chandeleur islands. this is a topic of intense discussion with the president last week. he conveyed me to develop information, on the pros and cons, is this an effective way to approach this? what should we be concerned about and the critical elements of information that we need moving forward? that will happen this afternoon 3 we will have that meeting and then we will report that back to the president. with my recommendations. we're in the first process of moving into the ability to control the oil leakage. during this last weekend, we tried the top kill exercise. there were three different attempts on three separate days. unsuccessful in overcoming the pressure of the hydrocarbons coming up. we're going to oil containment+ rather than capping the well. that involves a couple of things this afternoon for on

i've left industry and now work in academia. and i work with several student organizations.uring a meeting of the mixed gender group one of the males said as a male i won't mention the university i'm associated with. awkwardly accepted the fact that i'm evil. that opened up the flood gate because i left my kids here. i said do you mind if a have a chat with your mom. it was interesting to hear their mothers who did not think their son was being made to feel that way and i thought it was -- i think there's a study in here. but i got over 30 now, and i think it's got to go through i.r.b. if i do move with this. but if you look at what women are being elected into office. who are highly conservative. if they were males, no feminist would vote for them. guest: yes. men are evil. i'd like to think more of why he felt he was evil? that's a 1970's view when women thought it would be easy to argue women were arguing to the patriarch. why is everything -- now when i hear for example, college admissions officers, and i quote one of them in my story, they talk about men and women and a

experience in the clinton administration doing policy work at most of her life has been spent in academia. that is a very political environment. deans were the great scholars of the academic world but in today's world, they are more fund-raisers. thissis a concern to think about her judicial philosophy and how she will be able to switch from a mode of policy- making to a position of a judge where you need to look a lot first. you will need to come to a fair result instead of thinking what you would vote for if you were a politician. host: there are hundreds of e- mails dating back when she was part of the administration. what is in those e-mails and can they tell you something about her judicial philosophy? guest: there is every little about her judicial philosophy. she has been studious to avoid taking a position on legal issues. she was placed as a solid and committed liberal which is no surprise. president obama wants to appoint a liberal wing -- particularly when he is pushing so much legislation through. he wants someone to support the legislation. there will be the health care bill,

convene a meeting of state and local representatives and federal partners and representatives of academiabout the proposal submitted by the state of louisiana. and this is a topic of discussion with the president last week. he directed me to convene a meeting to obtain transparency -- transparency on it information associated with this. that will happen this afternoon. we will have that meeting. when it is done, i will assemble the information derived from the meeting and present that to the present along with my recommendations. as we speak, we are in the first process of moving to the ability to control the oil leakage. as you know, during this last weekend, there were three different top kill attempts in consecutive days. it was unsuccessful in overcoming the pressure of the harbor commons -- of the hydrocarbons. capping the well involves a couple of things this afternoon. it involves cutting the riser pipe that you have seen on television. then there will be a second pup which is -- a second cut that is called a dime and wire cut. -- a diamond-wire cut. the reason we want to do that i
