we talk to adam liptak, the supreme court correspondent for "the new york times." >> i think most people would prefer to have a reasoned decision from a full supreme court than to have three judges on the united states coulter of appeals for the fifth scifort deciding this for the whole nation. because they did issue a nationwide injunction blocking this program. and that sort of nationwide action we usually expect to come from the supreme court, not from a lower court. >> rose: and we continue talking about isis and the aftermath of orlando with mike morrell and admiral james winfield. >> we want a transition from assad to a new government. but we want assad to go in a you away that leaves the institutions of power, namely the military, security services, intelligence services in tact, right? in iraq it was the u.s. government that made the decision to destroy those organizations with debath if i kaition. in libya, it just happened under its own weight, right it was so institutionalized, so personalized with qaddafi that when qaddafi and his senior guys went away, the military just disa

joining me now from washington, adam liptak. the supreme court correspondent for the new york times. but talk about immigration first. adam: it is a big blow to overhaul the immigration program , to spare as many as 5 million people from deportation and allow them to work. the effect of this 4-4 tie was to leave in place a federal appeals court decision that blocks the program and effectively ends any chances of reviving the program while president obama is in office and reasons your questions -- and raises real question about whether this will come into being. even if they did nothing, and had enormous consequences. charlie: for his legacy, it is what? adam: it is a blow. after health care, this might be his second most ambitious domestic agenda item. so it is a real setback for him, something that viewed ministration felt confident was lawful, -- that the administration felt was lawful. it ended with a 4-4 deadlock. charlie: what can they do now? adam: the case will go on in lower courts and sooner or later, it may end up in t

. >> and for an important supreme court decision about abortion we turn to adam liptak of "the new york times." >> this really is the biggest abortion rights decision since 1-9d 92. it not only strikes down two parts of a restrictive texas law but it reaffirms a standard that will make it hard for many many states to pass many kinds of abortion restrictions so it's a very good day for apportion rights act vises. >> we conclude this evening with the story of and music from tegan and sara quinn. >> so it was in 1995. we were reflecting a lot of the music we were listening to. so it was more grung and rock and punk pop and i think over the 17 years that we've been making music professionally, music has changed a lot but i think our ability to reflect the things we like and that we listen to, we have gotten better at that and our production has reflected our confidence and interest in music. >> brexit, the supreme court on abortion, tegan and sara quinn when we return. >> funding for charlie rose is provided by the following: captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in n

joining me from washington, adam liptak, correspondent from the "new york times."you surprised by this or not? justice kennedy obviously was the swing justice. >> i was a little bit surprised. you could tell by doing a little bit of detective work that breyer was the likely author and once you knew that he would be the author, you knew it would be a pro-abortion right movement. but this is the biggest abortion -- it decision since 1922 1992. strikes down two parts of a restrictive texas law but it reaffirms a law that makes it very hard or state to pass -- for any state to pass restrictions. charlie: tell us about the restrictions. >> allotted two different things -- the law did two different things. one of them was to help women's health but they said it was a ruse as a way to shut down clinics. one of them required doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals which are hard to get and many say there no points in that because abortion is a safe procedure. another restriction basically turned them into mini hospital, s, costing millions of dollars to do
