and david rivkin, a partner at the baker-hostetler law firm in washington. he represented the 26 states that challenged the constitutionality of the affordable care act. professor tribe, i think let's start with your former student. there's been continuing speculation as to whether he changed his vote. it was reported by jan crawford of cbs that there had been a big internal battle from conservatives to get him to change back. does any of this matter? what does it say to you, that there's this speculation? >> well, the main thing it says is that somebody in the supreme court is leaking or that jan crawford greenburg has her facts wrong. i think shs a pretty good reporter, so i would suspect that some law clerk has some pretty loose lips. i think that's terrible because even though in some prior cases over the 40 years or so that i've watched the court, there have been leaks. four or five years after a decision. for somebody to go tattling on what justices said to each other or to law clerks just a day after a decision is really horrendous. i mean there reall

baker, but a pebble in the pond. you're nothing but poor white trash. >> in rural louisiana, halfway between new orleans and baton rouge, is the second largest prison in the state, the elayn hunt correctional center. although the facility is relatively new, it opened in 1979, the look is anything but modern. armed officers on horseback, work crews farming the land, and no air conditioning. in the next hour you will meet some of the men doing time including a former nfl player and two aspiring boxers who win the opportunity to compete against a rival prison. ♪ >> a mile and a half from the banks of the mississippi river, what appears to be a toll booth is the entrance to the elayn hunt correctional center. this all-male facility houses more than 2,100 inmates. >> every monday and tuesday the reception process will start at about 5:30 in the morning. inmates will come from the various parish prisons and other d.o.c. facilities and they will all pool here. >> the men arriving today have been convicted of a wide range of

homer baker was the waistband of his b-17.oney who is a stars & stripes guy was regular army chose not to use the machine gun. cronkite said it was impossible to try to keep track of these german fighters. the bombers were going up at the north sea at 300 miles an hour. the foxholes are coming out of 500 miles an hour. a tiny speck on the horizon all of a sudden shooting past them. cronkite is an early shot one of these things before except for a couple to hammer away. all of the thread mice -- albeit a pre-70s in the formation was due. poor baker was tormented the rest of his life, worried we shut down the plane. it would have been impossible in the formation. the thicker was tormented by all of that. >> they all had to write code that's? how many of them are obese across that same day with makeup that? >> right, the amazing story that ships that had been up for two days and then upgrading but became the famous assignment to how the moment that completely transformed his reputation. and then went on. it's interesting that nig

and the volume is turned up by bobby baker, his secretary of the senate, so it would pull into town and johnson would start speaking, you know, anded he'd give a speech, "we have to have a southerner on the ticket. let's not let the south be forgotten." the train would pull away. johnson wouldn't be finished talking. he once said in a town named cullpepper, as the train is pulling out he said, "what did dick nixon ever do for cullpupper?" >> rose: so they're elected and that begins the period you also chronicle here of what? vice president. >> johnson, you know, was was this very powerful man. the kennedys cut him out of power completely. he thinks when he takes the vice presidency that because of his gift for acquiring power, he says when someone says you won't have any power if you're in the vice presidency. he says, "power is where power goes," meaning "wherever i go there is power." he has underestimated jack kennedy completely and he makes a number of moves to try to get kennedy to give him power. he actually drafts an executive order, had an executive order drafted where he would

the conservative bill kristol has offered baker dinner if this anecdote is true. so dr.ld you chip in for the bill if it is true? >> i definitely would chip in for the bill because i don't think he's going to have to buy him dinner. i think what you're going to find out is this is something reagan said rhetorically, but certainly didn't mean it literally. already research is embargo out he took national security meetings over the course of his first 100 days. bottom line, it's apples and oranges anyway. the things the next president is going to have to deal with in terms of syria and all these other issues developing around the world is one piece of it. so foreign policy is going to be very, very important. but also, our economy is quite different. this is a globalized economy. you are required in terms of working and focusing on the national economy to think very, very seriously about things that are going on globally. again, it goes to some of the reasons why some of the conservatives are so disappointed in mitt romney because there are serious issues and questions abo

>> when howard baker and i came to the white house -- i came back, he came -- president reagan was at 37% in the polls. it was the depths of iran-contra. people were saying of ronald reagan that he was not just a lame duck, he was a dead duck with two years to go in his administration. one of the key strategies that president reagan laid down was that we would try to capture from building up in the first term in our military to somehow build down in the second term. he had felt that gorbachev, in his meetings in geneva and then in reykjavik, which everybody reported at the time was not successful and it turned out to be pivotal, that there was an opportunity for a significant nuclear arms reduction with gorbachev. but his political standing at home was very low, the lowest of his presidency, and it started coming back. three months later was the berlin wall speech where people started recognizing, my god, the united states is back, and the president is going to be that forceful and that direct with the leader of the then soviet union. mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. mr. gorbachev,
