think you stand a chance with john roberts, clarence thomas, antonin scalia, samuel alito and anthony kennedyhom basically believe that it's the politicians, the state legislature, who should resolve these issues? >> i have optimism that this will go through. in my own state, you know, we got dismissed from the trial court. the judge said it wasn't in his jurisdiction to, you know, follow through with the case. we appealed. and the court of appeals turned it around and said, no. this is -- you know, the court has every right to follow through. this is in the court's power. the whole theory about having lawsuits and legal actions in, you know, throughout the states, and there are international cases as well, is that we hope it'll be what we call a domino effect. you know, a win here will hopefully influence allxae'g]%9 across the states. because really, it just takes one brave judge to say, yes, >> so how did you feel when the court of appeals said, gave you a second opinion? >> you know, it was the last day of high school for me. and senior year, so huge celebration. and also, i had a news s

including anthony kennedy who took a moderate approach at this. so even though he says in another 10 years on i'm not even seven years old yet, the way that this is working, can at least work two or three years. >> with that risk of seeming obsessed with age, younger members of the panel who happen to be up-and-coming stars of the supreme court, the cohead of the supreme court and a partner specializing in the supreme court and appellate litigation. as it happened, this occurred right around at the time of the transition and i think also it in the first year of the roberts court as well. and the supreme court have kind of grown up with the roberts court. so i would like to ask the two of you to react and offer any additional thought that you might have as well. and so i will start with you and then if you have any thoughts about this, this might be of interest. >> one thing that we see today actually has almost nothing to do with the chief justice himself but is equally significant with some of the developments that joe mentioned and that is the r

the second dispiriting moment was when anthony kennedy said this is really about abortion and that'swhen we knew that hobby lobby was going to win, the government was going to lose. >> michaelson says the women movement faces resistance due to difficulty in putting forth a message women's health is about identity and dignity and that conservative women are in an ideological battle with liberal women. p. >> you're not gonna find a whole lot of african americans who are against civil rights. you're not gonna find a lot of lgbt people who are against same-sex marriage and lgbtq equality. there are actually women on the other side: sara palin, michelle bachman, many, many others who claim not to be feminists or who are anti-choice and who take a number of positions that many in the sort of women's equality women's rights movement would call anti-women. >> michaelson says humanizing an issue makes it resonate. he says sharing personal stories could result in more acceptance and understanding of such a complex issue. >> unfortunately, abortion is rarely a joyful experience like same-sex ma

i think people like the chief and anthony kennedy who took a more modest step in that decision know anotheright come down at some point. so even though he can't think in ten years i'll be able to do some things. the way the cycle of cases is coming towards the court, he's going to wait at least two or three years. >> right. and with the risk of seeming obsessed with age, i want to turn to the younger members of the panel. willy jay who is the echo head of the supreme court and lori mcgill who is the partner specializing in supreme court and appellate litigation. and as it happens, they first asked the supreme court really around the time of the transition to justice roberts. they have really grown up with the roberts court primarily. i think i'll throw the floor open and ask the two of you to react to what has been said and offer additional thoughts you might have on the roberts court. i'll start with william. perhaps if you have thoughts about arguing in front of the roberts court in particular, that would be of interest. >> sure. i think one change that we see today actually has almost no

. >>> anthony kennedy strive and when they are finished with their work they need homes. >> one of the fundraisers you did, what saturday? >> it began with a dipper and we had a 100-mile bike ride and we raised $4 million but what was spectacular? the view. this is the scene i snapped. was that incredible, it was between monterey and that was mile 64 and actually we a saw a wail off the coast and they were justs if follow licking. >> i hope you had a great weekend as well, outside we had clouds greeting you and temperature weiss, winds are -- temperature ice this is -- temperature wise, under motorcyclistly cloudy skies, air temperature 58 degrees and we will be cooler tailed compared to yesterday and the warmest days of this workweek are still to come. futurecast, at least a few good miles and tweeting back in and take a look at the super moon. it will be the 5th one of this year and it is a super half vast moon as well. upper level trough. high pressure builds in its wake. meanwhile the damage is done, the cooler air is associated bringing our number down today and on thursday. here

i think people like to people like the chief and anthony kennedy who took a more modest step in thatnother one might be coming down the pike at some point so even though he can't think in another 10 years when i'm not even 70 yet i will be able to do some things. the way the cycle of cases is coming toward the court you can wait two or three years. >> with that at the risk of seeming obsessed with age i want to go to the other members of the panel and the real up-and-coming stars of the supreme court barbara bar willete jay who is the cohead of the appellate practice and gloria mcgill who is a partner specializing in supreme court and appellate litigation and as it happens laurie worked at the supreme court really right around the time of the transition from justice rehnquist to chief justice roberts. laurie clerked in the first year for the roberts court and willie and laurie in their careers have been supreme court litigators and have really grown up with primarily the roberts court. i will leave the floor open an asset floor open as the two of you to react to what is already been

the university of texas case we saw up there last year also, i think people like the chief and anthony kennedy who took a more modest step in that decision, no, another one might be coming down the pike at some point. so even though they -- he can't think, oh, in another ten years when i'm not even 70 yet, i'll be able to do some things. the way the cycle of cases is coming toward the court, it can at least wait two or three years. >> right, well, with that and at the risk of seeming obsessed with age, i want to come to too the youngest members of the panel who happen to be two of the real up and coming stars of the supreme court bar, willie jay who is the co-head of the supreme court and lori mcgill who is a partner specializing in supreme court and appellate litigation at the clint emanuel firm. as it happens, willie and loir clerked at the supreme court really right around the time of the transition from chief justice rehnquist to chief justice roberts. really in the last year of the rehnquist court, lori clerked in the first year of the roberts court and willie and lori in their careers as

i going to go to anthony scalia who might luger majority for you, or are you going to anthony kennedyght move a little too far to the left for your taste, looks like he's going to sam alito because of the point i would make about about the court with george w. bush but one lesson i do want to mention that we saw most recently and again it is a dynamic that the chief is part of, and that's justice sotomayor breaking out in the michigan affirmative action case with her dissent in the case where she and the chief ashley got into a little bit because she was dissenting from the ruling that upheld the michigan man of affirmative action practice including the higher education. if she felt she was airing too much of this trend behind the scenes in her dissent and i think we'll see more of her sort of using her first latina justice voice and i'm not sure how well that is going to play a. >> that give an opportunity to atone for embarrassing joan by pointing out that joan is about to plug a book on justice sotomayor which is entitled breaking in, the rise of sonia sotomayor, i gleefully coming

we got a supreme court nominee, anthony kennedy from here and california and northern california approvedverwhelmingly by a democratic senate. and i know this is going to sound weird, but we had all 13 appropriation bills passed on time. not bad for a b-movie actor in the last two years of his term. [ applause ]. >> you were there. >> well, we balanced the budget. >> there you go. [ laughter ]. [ applause ]. >> that's true. >> yeah. and to get that done, i had to spend months and months and months locked up in conference rooms locked up with newt gingrich. you all owe me a lot for that. i'm telling you. president clinton loved being president. he loved mitt dedelighted in it. he wanted to use everyday to make this country a better place to live and work and raise your family. i mean, i'll give you an example of something that shows his humanity. you know, every -- literally almost every day he would come over from the east wing to the west wing and he would have articles of various newspapers from around the country. little teeny papers that he had ripped out and it had been somebody who

he clerked for judge easterbrook and justice anthony kennedy at the supreme court. it is served at the department of justice during the bush administration and he has testified before congress numerous times, most recently before congressman goodlatte's hearing on the ability of the president to faithfully execute the laws. with that, i will turn it over to stewart. >> thank you, liz. i love the introductions. they have all of the benefits of a wake without the one detriment. [laughter] ago, an independent poll was conducted by university asking which of the 12 president since world war ii were the best and the worst. heritage will be glad to know, if it does not know already, the winner on the best side was president reagan, but by a large , held, 33% of the vote that president obama was the worst president since world war ii. one question immediately came to my mind, which is, and they really forgotten the jimmy carter administration? but the second question was this . this contempt about the obama administration, the product of a belief he has exceeded his powers
